Besides  my  recognized  nasiatant  in  the  compilation  of  this 
Genealogy,  and  those  to  whotn  I  acknowledged  my  obligationa  in 
the  »•  New  England  Hiatorical  and  Genealogical  Regiater"  for  Octo- 
ber, 1887,  I  am  indebted  to  Dr.  William  Savery,  of  Sharon  Hill, 
Penn..  for  biographical  matter  pertaining  to  the  Philadelphia  Family, 
to  Hon.  James  B.  Severy,  Judge  of  the  County  Court  of  El  Paso 
County,  Col.,  for  information  by  which  I  was  enabled  to  trace  the 
branches  of  the  Severy  family  aettled  in  Maine,  and  to  Dr.  Samuel 
Smiles  for  the  permisaion  accorded  me  to  publish  in  America  the 
chapter  in  his  *'  Lives  of  Boulton  and  Watt,"  which  givos  an  accoant 
of  Savery's  invention  of  the  steam  engine. 

And  in  this  place  I  would  repeat  with  emphasis  the  expression  of 
my  great  indebtedness  to  Miss  Lydia  A.  Savary  for  her  invaluable 
and  continued  assistance,  without  which  I  would  never  have  been 
able  to  bring  the  work  to  a  satisfactory  conclusion.  She  gathered 
and  furnished  me  by  far  the  greater  part  of  the  materials  woven  into 
the  genealogy  of  what  I  have  called  "Subdivision  A"  of  the  Old 
Colony  Family,  and  a  considerable  quantity  of  other  important  mat- 
ter utilized  in  appropriate  places  in  the  genealogical  portions  of  the 
book. 

I  have  consulted,  for  my  sketch  of  the  eminent  minister,  the 
"Journal  of  the  Life  and  Labours  of  William  Savery,"  edited  by 
Jonathan  Evans,  Philadelphia;  the  "Life  of  Elizabeth  Fry,"  by  her 
daughter,  Mrs.  Cresswell;  "Anecdotes  of  Friends"  (issued  by  the 
"Tract  Association  of  Friends,"  Philadelphia),  and  some  letters  of 
the  minister  to  bis  wife  from  England. 

Those  who  have  been  surprised  and  disappointed  at  the  long  delay 
in  issuing  the  book  have  no  conception  of  the  immense  amount  of 
time  and  labor  which  the  compilation  of  such  a  work  demands,  and 
which  was,  in  this  case,  aggravated  by  the  distance  of  my  residence 
from  the  records  in  which  information  was  to  be  sought,  and  my 
want  of  sufficient  leisure  to  spare  from  the  duties  of  an  engrossinir 
office.     The  correspondence  involved  was  enormous,  and  the  ex-

peiiHcs  ineurred  ho  extinordinnry  tbnt  tlie  flnaneinl  Iohh  will  be  great 
relatively  to  that  resulting  from  the  preparation  and  publication  of 
moHt  works  of  the  same  nature.  Such  l)Ooks  are  expected  to  repay 
the  cost  of  publication,  and  sometimes  partially  or  wholly  the  expense 
of  researcbcR,  but  the  \.ork  of  compiling  and  writing  is  a  "  lalwr  of 
love."  My  own  QX|)en8es  are  much  beyond  the  i)088ibility  of  recon|>- 
ment  from  sales  of  the  book.  It  may  appear  i;  ngracious  to  mention 
this,  and  yet  it  seems  but  right  to  disabuse  the  minds  of  those  who 
may  suppose  that  I  have  entered  upon  and  carrieti  on  this  work 
with  u  prospect  of  pecuniary  gain.  What  was  at  tirst  the  indulgence 
of  a  taste  for  antiquarian  research,  family  history,  and  speculations 
in  heredity,  gradually  grew  into  a  herculean  task,  which  I  more  than 
once  seriously  contemplated  abandoning  in  despair. 

In  beginning  my  investigations  in  1881,  I  was  actuated  simnly  by 
a  desire  to  clearly  trace  up  my  own  ancestry  to  its  source  on  the 
odier  side  of  the  Atlantic,  and  to  that  end  apnlied  for  information  to 
several  kinspeople  in  Massachusetts  whose  addresses  I  chanced  to 
obtain,  but  whom  I  had  never  met.  These,  in  the  order  of  time, 
were  Hon.  William  Savery.  of  Carver ;  Adolphus  Savary,  Esq.,  and 
Miss  Lydia  A.  Savary,  of  East  Wareham;  Theodore  P.  Adams, 
Esq.,  of  Boston ;  and  Rev.  W.  H.  Savary,  of  Canton,  now  of  South 
Boston ;  all  of  whom  most  cordially  responded,  with  a  large  amount 
of  Interesting  matter,  which,  while  not  reaching  back  far  enough  to 
elucidate  the  transatlantic  origin  of  the  family,  inspired  me  with 
more  zeal  to  discover  it,  i»ud  prompted  tlie  more  ambitious  task  of  a 
full  family  history  and  genpalogy.  The  pleasure  I  have  derived 
from  my  correspondence  and  subsequent  acquaintance  with  these 
and  otuera  of  my  American  kinsfolk,  and  others  not  kinsfolk,  who 
have  in  various  degrees  contributed  to  my  success,  has  relieved  and 
lightened  my  labors. 

A  complication  that  rendered  my  work  more  difficult  was  the  exist- 
ence in  Plymouth  County  of  a  quite  numerous  family  of  the  same 
name,  who,  it  was  taken  for  granted  by  myself  and  most  of  my  early 
coiTespondents,  were  a  part  of  the  "  Old  Colony  "  family  of  Saverys, 
but  whom  a  careful  investigation  proved  to  have  been  descended 
from  an  entirely  diflferent  source,  the  name  being  a  development 
from  one  originally  quite  diflferent,  and  an  example  of  the  curious 
way  in  which  in  English-speaking  communii  -s  a  name  originally 


PUEFACE. 


purely  Freiiob,  will,  in  the  ociiree  of  (renerntioim,  Ijccome  ^rnduully 
changed  into  one  of  Kngli^li  sound,  or  locally  common  a.'«  nn  Knglish 
name.  The  b<K>k  will  therefore  be  divided  into  two  parts,  the  seeond 
of  which  will  contain  the  genealogy  of  the  Scvcry  family,  and  of  the 
Snverys  who  are  descended  from  the  immigrant  ancestor  of  the 
Severys,  whose  name,  it  will  l)e  seen,  was  Sivret,  changed  toSeverit 
on  this  side  of  the  water.  I  at  one  time  thought  of  publishing  this 
in  a  separate  vjlume,  but  decided  Anally  that  it  would  be  more  inter- 
cstingand  useful  to  both  families  to  place  the  two  genealogies  in  iuxta- 
[Mjsition  in  the  same  book,  in  order  that  difference,  as  well  us  '-.lentity, 
of  origin  and  pedigree,  and  non-relationship,  as  well  as  relationshi,) 
of  people  bearing  the  LMwts  nani}8,  might  be  elucidated  together.  I 
am  sorry  that  the  genealogy  of  the  Severy  family  is  not  fuller. 
Many  of  the  descendants  of  the  first  Joseph  Severy,  of  Sutton,  I 
have  been  unable  to  trace,  and  there  were  evidently  two  of  the  name, 
probably  his  uncles,  who  remained  at  Marblehead,  and  were  progen- 
itors of  a  numerous  posterity,  who  now  all  write  their  names 
"  Savory."  All  the  Marblehead  church  and  town  records  relating  to 
the  name  I  have  inserted  in  an  appendix,  so  that  any  one  who  may 
wish  to  trace  tliese  lines  more  closely  moy  be  aided  in  doing  so.  I 
was  disappointed  at  discovering  that  so  many  esteemed  correspond- 
ents, worthy  of  all  regard,  and  much  interested  in  this  Genealogy, 
were  in  no  wise  related  to  the  family  of  which  I  was  a  member,  or 
to  any  of  the  consanguineous  families  of  the  same  name,  wliose  his- 
tory alone  I  for  some  time  thought  I  was  compiling. 

In  tlie  female  lines  I  did  not  at  first  expect  to  give  more  than  the 
marriage?  of  daughters,  and  the  first  generations  of  their  children. 
Where  I  have  done  more,  the  infonnation  was  volunteered  to  me,  or 
was  easily  obtainable.  A  genealogy  of  the  descendants  of  an  early 
immigrant  to  America  on  a  plan  embracing  the  descendants  in  female 
as  well  as  in  male  lines  is  rarely  accomplished,  and  would  lave  Ijeen 
much  beyond  my  time  and  resources.

are  those  of  the  direct  lineal  ancestors  of  the  person  treated  of  back  to  his

inurals  in  a  column  on  the  left  of  the  names  where  births  are  recorded  are 
intended  to  ithow  the  numli;'r  of  the  children  born  of  the  same  parents  and 
t  lie  order  of  tlietr  births.  The  familiar  Arabic  numerals  in  the  margin 
farther  to  the  left  show  the  order  In  which  an  exfnded  and  fuller  record 
will  be  given  of  the  person  so  numbere<l,  and  the  births  of  his  or  her  chil- 
dren, and  so  on.  In  case  of  a  person  not  having  an}'  children,  or  onl,v  un- 
married children,  and  in  female  lines,  it  did  not  seem  necessary  always  to 
carry  the  name  forward  in  that  way,  unless  there  was  something  special  to 
record  in  the  person's  own  career,  such  as  important  military  or  civil  pub- 
lic service,  professional  endnence,  etc.  lu  some  cases  the  necessary  infor- 
mation came  too  lat«!  to  give  it  In  a  further  extended  record.  In  tracing 
down  a  line  of  descent,  the  reader  will  look  in  the  middle  of  the  page  for 
the  same  number  as  that  on  the  left  side  and  directly  against  the  name  of 
the  person  traced  from :  and  so,  conversely,  in  tracing  back,  look  in  the 
left-hand  margin  of  the  previous  pages  for  the  same  number  as  appears  in 
the  midilie  of  the  page  above  the  name  of  the  person  whose  ancestors  you 
desire  to  trace. 

In  Kngland  and  the  colonies  the  Jtillan  ('ulemtar  wua  retained  until  1752, 
when  the  Uti'i/nrlan  laleiuhn;  or  new  style,  was  adopted.  In  order,  there- 
fore, to  make  the  dates  liefore  1752  correspond  in  the  solar  j'ear  to  the  new 
style,  it  Is  necessary  to  ad<l  ten  to  dates  of  days  between  inOO  and  1700,  and 
eleven  to  dates  l>etween  1700  and  1762.  Thus  the  "  Marv  and  John"  arrived 
on  May  1,  1034  rold  style),  to  which,  adding  ti-n,  would  be  May  11,  1634 
(new  style).  Tlie  year  in  old  style  was  computed  to  begin  on  March  25, 
so  that  most  of  her  passengers  took  the  oaths  of  supremacy  and  allegiance 
before  sailing,  3Iarch  24,  1033,  although  we  would  say  it  was  in  the  sann' 
year  as  that  in  which  they  arrived.  Some  of  her  passengers  took  the  oaths 
on  the  2nth  of  March,  which  was  the  second  day  of  the  year  1034. 

Where  I  have  used  the  prefixes  "Deacon,"  "Captain,"  etc.,  it  is  in 
most  cases  for  the  purjiose  of  distinguishing  the  person  designated  from 
others  of  the  same  Christian  name,  or  ijecause  the  prefix  was  a  common  or 
well-known  designation  of  the  person.  I  coiiciud?d  it  a  safe  rule  to  apply 
to  clergymen  and  physicians,  senators  and  members  of  a  State  executive, 
the  iltles  nnifimiUii  accorded  to  them  by  the  usages  of  the  country  in  w  hich 
they  lived.  In  cases  of  pernons  who  hejid  offlceu,  in  respect  to  wlileh  there 
i»  a  diversity  of  uoage,  or  the  prefix  "lionorable  *'  is  merely  given  by 
courtesy,  I  have  omitted  that  prefix.

In  tlu'  title  I  ^ive  prectleiice  to  the  form  of  .spelling  the 
iiiime  used  hy  tlie  nmjoiity  ol"  lh()se  who  will  Ik-  nieiitioned  in 
the  work,  and  nearly  univemal  in  the  "Old  Colony"  hrauch, 
from  which  I  am  myself  descended,  and  which  is  the  oldest  family 
of  the  name  in  America;*  and  there  is  Itetter  authority  for 
"  Savery,"  or  "  Savory,"  .s  an  Knglish  or  American  name,  than 
there  is  for  "  Savary."  The  latter  is  distinctively  the  F'rench 
form,  the  other  two  are  English  fonns  of  the  same  ancient 
name.  In  old  Norman  French  the  a  and  the  e  were  almost 
convertible  lettei-s.f  In  the  French  language  there  is  no 
accent,  or,  what  is  the  same  thing,  the  accent  is  eijualized  over 
all  the  syllables  of  a  word,  with  a  slight  stress  on  the  last, 
while,  in  the  i)roglessive  growth  and  develo[)ment  of  the 
Knglish  language,  a  marked  accent  on  a  j)articular  sj-llable, 
genemlly  the  antepenult,  became  in  process  of  time  a  recog- 
nized rule,  bringing  with  it  a  tendency  to  abbreviation.  lleiu;e, 
the  second  or  unaccented  vowel  in  this  name,  not  affecting  the 
sound,  Ixjcame  a  matter  of  no  importance,  with  an  ever-recur- 
ring j)reference  for  the  c,  because  it  practically  reduced  it  to 
two  syllables.  It  is  interesting  to  note,  howevei-,  that  in  its 
lii-st  appearance  in  those  old  Fnglish  records,  the  IIundre«l 
HoUs,   it  is    \uider  the    form  "Savary,"  John  Savarv   in    the

ever  afterwards  in  these  reciords.  as  in  the  early  records  of  X»-\v 
F^uj,dand,  it  is  spelt  indifferently  "Savery"  a»i/l  "Savory," 
'v.th  every  variety  of  tcrniination  that  woidd  give  the  same 
sound  as  the  //.  Settled  rules  for  the  spelling  ni  surnames 
were  unknown  or  despised  until  ak/ut  the  l)eginuing  of  this 
century.  In  early  colonial  days  learned  men  on  IhhIi  sides  of 
the  ocein  not  only  wrote  their  names  phonetically  and  accord- 
ing to  each  one's  ear  or  taste,  hut  entirely  at  random,  and  often 
in  several  different  ways  in  the  same  document.  So  great  was 
the  diversity  in  orthography  general!  v.  that  an  eminent  author- 
ity on  names  *  suggests  that  the  display  of  variety  in  this 
respect  may  have  l)een  consideied  ornam«,'ntal.  just  as  a  Avriter 
aiming  at  elegance  t(wlay  would  strive  to  avoid  repeating 
the  same  word  or  pinase  in  a  sentence.  Among  the  French 
similar  differences,  hut  not  to  so  striking  an  extent,  existed  in 
respect  to  this  name.  In  Agnew's  "  List  of  French  Protestant 
Exiles  in  England."  we  iind  not  only  Matthew  and  Stephe:i 
Savary  and  sons  J^uke  and  John,  and  Danielf  Savary,  but  in 
1701,  Elias  Savoret,  John  Savouret,  and  Zachary  Savory. 

The  most  rational  etymology  of  the  name  is  tliat  given  hy 
Ferguson  in  his  excellent  work  on  English  surnames.  He 
makes  it  a  compound  of  a  word  in  the  ancient  Teutonic  lan- 
guages, "Saha"  or  "Sahas,"  a  sword  (whence  our  uiodern 
•'sabre  "),  and  the  familiar  old  German  terminati()n  /•//*  or  rich,

Savage  is  from  this  root,  Savarieh  slnu'tened  into  Savaicli,  and

(iermanic  trilies,  themselves  the  flower  of  the  Swedes, 
Danes,  and  Norwegians,  they  had  .settled  themselves  in  that

the  two  I  have  cited),  which  are  still  favorites  in  the  homes  of 
Western  Europe  and  Americia.  Perhaps  it  dropped  out  of  use 
when,  in  the  "aj?es  of  faith,"  it  became  the  rule  to  give  the 
new-lxmi  child  the  name  of  a  tutelar  saint,  no  Savary  having

The  Normans  were  probably  the  tii-st  to  plant  the  name  in

of  IJrittany  were  of  Norman  origin ;  to  which  fact  the  name  of 
"Savary"  in  that  province  wiw  un(|uestionably  due.  Doubt- 
less Iiretf>ns  of  all  classes  mixed  their  blood  in  some  degree 
with  the  Norman  element  which  infused  itself  into  the  South 
and  Southwest  of  Kngland,  as  itritain  herself  had  contributed 
t«»  IJrittany  in  the  fifth  and  sixth  centuries. 

Hrittany  was  not  then  politically  a  part  of  Fmnce.  Their 
national  fortunes,  blended  f«u'  a  while,  had  parted,  and  the  val- 
iant dukes  of  Normandy  and  their  dauntless  foUowei-s  had 
practically  wrested  their  own  country  from  the  control  (if  the 
Carlovingian  kings ;  and  even  if  the  goodly  Devonshire  tree, 
instead  of  the  still  older  Norman-Knglish  trunk,  had  sent  out

we  are  of  Kiench  extraction.  The  Normans  of  that  day  were

connect  the  sword  in  each  with  the  original  signiticance  of  the

was  sou  of  William  Ht'iiiv  Savorv  of  tin*  city  of  Lontlon, 
probably  tlu'  one  who  a|)peai-s  in  tlie  Directory  of  1S20  as  a 
"  lish   factoi"  at    Love   Lane. 

All  oriirjiial  docunient.  ti'tnp.  Henry  VHT..  shows  that  one 
Henry  Savory,  a  j)arty  to  it,  then  of  Southampton,  was  horn 
a  subject  of  France.  William  Savery,  age  'Irt.  was  among  the 
passengeix  of  the  siiip  ••  (Jlolte  "  of  Lon<h)n,  IJlackwell.  master, 
to  V^irginia,  in  1»>8").  July  2,  IdfiO,  Bridget  liushy,  widow 
of  Nicholas,  of  lioston,  mentions  in  a  deed  her  daughter 
Catherine,  wife  of  William  Savery  of  Norwich,  Knglanil.  In 
Barhadoes  the  name  ajjoeared  soon  after  its  advent  to  New 
England,  couj)led  with  several  Christian  names  ccmimon  in  iMith 
migrations.  The  name  Anthony,  rare  among  the  I'ilgrims  and 
Puritans  of  that  day,  hut  conunon  to  the  Wiltshire  and  l*lym- 
outli  Comity  Saverys,  appears  to  me  veiy  suggestive,  of  a 
kinship;  hut  as  1  suspect  that  the  Philadelphia  family  de- 
scended from  this  source,  it  will  he  exi)edient  to  treat  of  the 
name  in    liarhadoes  elsewhere  and  more  in  detail.

The  Hftieth  name  on  the  first  list  of  freemen  of  IMymouth 
Colony,  1(!:{8,  is  Anthony  Saver}-,  repeated  in  a  longer  list  of 
1(336-7,  and  again  in  a  list  of  1(180.*  Opixisite  the  name  on 
this  list  is  the  word  "dead,"'  but  he  is  mentioned  in  the  records 
until  as  late  as  1(!42. 

The  second  occiirrence  of  the  name  is  that  of  Thohias  Savory 
in  April,  l(i84,  as  one  of  that  ill-advised  expedition  organized 
by  Howland,  then  one  of  the  governor's  assistants,  to  dislodge 
the  alleged  intruder  Hocking  from  his  trading  position  on  the 
KennelH'c  iiiver,  which  he  held,  it  was  said,  in  detiance  of  the

whatever,  and  none  of  any  Tlioinas  who  touhl  Im  identitied 
with  the  early  ininii^rantH.  It  is,  however,  an  historical  fact 
that  the  passenjrers  by  the  ••  Mary  and  .I(»hn  ""  were  from  Wilt-

records  of  that  paiish,  while  it  does  jiot  f;ive  nie  any  Thomas 
and  William  whom  I  can  clearly  indentify  a,s  the  ThomaM  and

Anthony  answerinji;  to  those  of  that  name  who  ajtpeared  at 
I'lymouth  the  year  l^fore.  The  names  of  Thomas  and  Anthony 
are  frequently  mentioned  tojj^ether  in  the  Ohl  Colony  records, 
and  in  such  a  way  in  the  later  records  as  if  they  li'ed  together, 
occurring  jointl}-  in  1(14:2  in  an  allotment  of  cattle,  Thomas 
always  having  precedence,  as  if  the  elder  ;  so  we  infer  they  were 
brothel's. 

On  May  I,  1")9H,  l{ol)ert  Savery  was  buried  at  Hanington, 
and  on  the  loth  his  will,  in  which  he  is  styled  1  usbandman, 
was  proved  by  his  widow  Joan.  He  left  his  "free  lands"  to 
his  son  Thomas,  and  4(>x.  each  to  his  "three  brothers,  Richard, 
Th'  an<l  Anth(inii;"  but  does  not  say  where  these  brothers 

lived.  I  infer  that  Thomas  was  his  oidy  son,  and  he  must  have 
remained  at  Ifanington.  on  the  paternal  acres  devised  to  him. 
The  records  of  all  the  neighboring  parishes  in  Wiltshire,  and 
over  the  border,  in  l$erks.  contain  abundant  mention  of  the 
name,  but  some  reiords  do  not  extend  back  (piite  so  far  as 
these  of  Hanington.  while  the  latter  do  not,  luitil  a  considerably 
later  date,  give  the  parentages  in  case  of  bajitism,  or  the  ages 
at  death  in  case  of  Inuials.  Hut  on  Jan.  :2(>.  1  iV.Mj,  Thomas

churchwarden  of  llaiiin^rtoii.  The  family  was  allied  hy  inter- 
marriage to  one  of  Mai's!),  at  one  time  of  considerahle  note  in 
the  parish,  one  of  whom.  Rev.  Triptolemus  Mai-sh,  I).  I)., 
iH'came  Areldnshop  of  Duhlin.  From  this  family,  therefore,  as 
so  many  offshoots  or  scions  from  a  jjarent  tree,  still  well  rep- 
resented «)U  the  old  soil,  I  deduce  all  of  the  name  who  are 
treated  in  the  ensuinjf  pages,  exee[)t  those  shown  to  Iw  descended 
from  the  Severits  or  Severys,  of  Marhlehead,  including  the 
Philadelphia  family,  provided  I  am  correct  in  my  uiatured 
opinion  that  the  undoubted  ancestor  of  the  latter  was  lK)rn  in 
Harbadoes. 

Anthony  Savery  evidently  died  in  or  soon  after  the  year 
1(!42,  and  I  find  no  trace  of  his  leaving  any  children.  The 
births  of  none  apjiear  in  the  records,  and  I  think  he  was  un- 
married, unless  the  Mary  Savery,  who  in  1<)»>1  mariied  Josei»li 
Hamsdcn,  when  Thomas's  daughter  Mary  was  Imt  seven  years

tionate and  devoted  terms  in  which  she  is  thrictt  mentioned  in 
the  short  will  of  her  husband,  evidently  his  own  composition,  f(*r 
its  phraseology  is  not  that  of  an  otlicial  or  professional  scrilH^. 
Tiiere  is  nothing  whatever  to  show  her  parentage,  any  clew  to 
which  evades  research.  In  a  deed  dated  .Nhirch  22,  1077-8, 
recorded  Vol.  IV.,  p.  iUl,  of  I'lyniouth  records,  she  conveys 
to  Anthony  an<l  Aaron,  her  sons,  tlu!  land  at  Four-mih*  Hrook 
which  "  fell  to  my  lat(!  husband  Thomas  Sav(»ry  by  »;xchange

family,  was  a  son  of  the  l{ev.  William  ICddy,  A.  .M..  a  native 
of  Hristol  and  viear  of  Cranbrtxtk,  Kent,  Kngianrl.  (See  Kddy 
Family,  with  (lenealogy,  by  \l.  II.  Kddy,  Hoston,  \HH2.)  lie 
had  a  sister  Anna,  born  May,  ItiOiJ,  hut  the  language,  '*our 
brother-in-law,"  was  not  exactly  what  would  have  l»een  used  by 
her,  and  we  cannot  suppose  her  to  have  been  the  mother  of  the 
Mary  Imu'U  liifi-i,  and  we  have  reason  to  In-licvt!  there  were  still 
younger  children  of  Thomas  and  Anne  Savory.  She  and 
Sanuicl  Kd<ly's  wife  may  havi;  been  sisters ;  but  the  language, 
although  it  would  suit  this,  is  still  better  adapted  to  the  con- 
dition that  Sanuiel  Kddy  married  Thomas  Savory's  sister.*

Anthony.  We  may  coiijecturo  that  hv  and  Aaron  were  younger 
.sons  wild  had  n-nmiiu-d  under  the  parental  roof  after  the  others 
liad  left,  or  U'en  otherwise  provided  for;  and  no  douht  the 
deed  was  intended,  as  far  as  Aaron  was  eoneerned,  as  a  fultil- 
nient  of  the  testamentary  l)ehest.  The  loss  of  some  old  hook 
or  hooks  of  town  and  elmreli  reeords  de|)rives  us  of  eomplete 
data  of  the  hirths  of  Thomas  Savory's  ehildren,  —  a  matter  in 
respect  to  whieli  the  Savery  family  u.  this,  and,  as  will  lie  seen 
in  the  next  generation,  is  exeej)tionally  unfortunate.  Five

y  4''  for  hreakiuff  the  jjeaee  towards  each  other."  1  suspeet  that 
this  Joseph  was  still  another  son  of  Thomas.  I  therefore  con- 
struct the  following  list  of  his  children  :  — 


I.    tJoMt'ph- ( y ) .    N'o  fui-thor  trace  of  tiiiii  appears. 

II.     Benjamin,  ti.  March,  164-1-5;  no  trace  of  liim  appears  except 
the  two  apprenticesliip-i  ah'cady  inentioiieii. 

III.  Tlioinas,  h.  Mardi  l.">,  l(>47-8;  we  have  seen  that  he  was  at  the 
age  of  tlve  apprentii'ed  to  Thomas  Lettice.  It  appears 
that  later  he  was  ai>preiitice(l  to,  or  hi  some  way  employed 
hy  the  worthy  anil  (listin<;uishe(l  Timoihy  Ilatherly,  the 
founder  of  Scituate,  who  was  so  active  and  influential  in 
tlie  history  of  the  infant  colony :  for  he  is  remembered  l>y 
him  in  liis  will,  dated  Dec.  20,  1(1(54,  hy  the  l)ef|uest  of  .50s., 
'•to  I)e  payed  when  his  service  is  expinMl."  lie  was  killed 
in  a  liattle  with  the  Indians,  'iTlh  March,  l(>7(i,  wiiile  serv- 
Mig  under  L'aj)t.  Pierce,  who  was  sent  with  a  comiiany  of 
fifty  white  men  and  twenty  friendly  Indians  from  Cape 
Cod,  to  pursue  the  Indians  to  IShode  Island.  They  crossed 
the  river  at  I'awtucket,  ami  were  surrounded  and  defeated. 
(See  Deane's  "  History  of  Scituate,"  pp.  121  and  122  ;  where 
w ill  l>e  found  |a  lett<'r  from  the  l{ev.  Noah  Newman  of 
l{ehol)oth,  to  the  Hev.  .lohn  Cotton,  of  Plymouth.)  He 
says  that  fifteen  out  of  the  cij^hteen  men  from  Scituate  in 
tliis  expedition  were  slain;  the  major  \y.irt  of  whom 
(.tmon;j  them  "Thomas  :'.iivary")  he  say.'*  were  heads  of 
fannlies.  Deane  says  (p.  SHU),  "Thomas  Savory  had 
settled  at  Scituate  in  Ki".").  He  was  the  son  of  Thontas 
of  Sandwich.      He  had  lands  in  the  2  ndle,  hut  probably

tliose  who  had  taken  the  freeman's  oath  as  citizens  of 
Dartmouth  in  and  ])revious  to  the  year  1(>80.  I  tind  no 
further  trace  of  him,  unless  he  is  the  one  who,  aceordiuf?  to 
my  more  mature  opinion,  was  a  son  of  Samuel,  and  who 
married  Marjraret  I'rice  in  170;{,  when  this  Anthony  would 
be  forty-eight  years  old. 

IX.  Aaron,  b.  probably  before  March  22,  UJ.Vi-7;  for  I  presume  he 
was  of  age  when  he  and  Anthony  received  their  deed  from 
their  mother.  From  the  records  of  the  laying  out  of  lands 
in  the  registry  ottice  at  New  IJedford,  I  find  him  living 
at  Dartmouth  (head  of  .\euslinet  Hiver),  in  1711.  His 
will  was  proved  .Vugust,  1717,  nuMitioning  only  his  wife 
Hannah.  He  probably  left  no  children.  At  Dartmouth, 
Oct.  1!»,  1728,  the  intentious  of  marriage  between  .Joliii 
'  Perry  of  Sandwich,   and  Hannah   Savery  of  Dartmouth, 

wen?  entered  by  the  town  clerk,  but  no  record  of  the 
marriage  can  be  found.  .John  I'erry  died  1732,  leaving  no 
widow. 

What  I)et'iiiiie  of  the  sons  not  ;'.t'(;oimted  for  al)ove  I  cannot 
say,  although  I  liave  inmle  diligent  and  persevering  efforts  to 
ascertain.  Samuel  alone  remained  and  settled  in  I'lyinoiith 
Coinity  or  left  any  issue  that  I  can  discover.  Considerable 
migration  from  the  Old  Colony  to  New  .Jersey  took  place  in 
that  generation  and  the  next,  es[)ecially  of  tliose  who  favored 
the  doctrines  of  the  "  Friends,"  and  from  Xew  .Jersey  many 
moved  over  to  Pennsylvania ;  and  for  some  time  I  hoped  thus 
to  prove  the  ancestry  of  the  eminent  minister.  The  pedigree  of 
President  Lincoln  illustrates  this  migration,  going  hack  through 
Pennsylvania  to  New  .Jersey,  where  his  (Quaker  ancestors  were 
an  offshoot  from  the  Old  Colony.

June  4,  Itlol.  No  lecitrd  of  his  marriage  or  (h-ath  is  to  lie 
foiinil,  and  we  are  even  left  in  ignomnce  of  his  wife's  Christian 
name.  In  1(>81.  Jan.  •?<»,  lie  was  granted  twenty  acres  of 
land  "lietween  John's  I'ond  and  the  Ceiar  Swaiiip,"  Swan- 
hohl.  Swanhold  was  in  the  preseiu  town  of  Carver,  formerly 
Plympton.  On  Feb.  t!,  1701-2,  the  government  decreed  that 
every  freeholder  of  six  years"  standing,  who  had  not  received  a 
grant  of  thirty  acres  of  land,  slntuld  forthwith  receive  that 
(piantity.  July  20.  ITlti.  he  sold  ;5(l  acres  of  land  granted  him 
l»y  the  town  of  I'lymouth  on  Feb.  0,  1701  to  Abiel  Shnrt- 
liff'e  for  40*1.  As  to  his  children  the  records  again  fail  us. 
About  the  middle  of  page  fifty-two  of  the  town  records  of 
Rochester,  we  iind  "Samuel  Savory,  Jr..  Imhu  y"  Itj"' day  of 
\oveml)er  in  the  year  Itlit")."  Then  after  the  entry  of  John 
Bumpas's  children  (from  l<!9o  to  170'.l)  there  follows  this: 
"The  births  of  Samuel  Savery  Senr's  children  are  as  follows"; 
proceeding  to  mention  "Judee"  in  lt!7il-H0.  and  Susanna, 
1600  (ten  year;  later),  with  the  note,  "  his  son's  age  may  lie 
seen  above.  "  These  entries  were  evidently  all  made  at  one 
time,  and  not  earlier  than  171o,  and  no  doubt  copied  from 
fragmentary  remains  of  an  older  book.  In  Vol.  I.  of  I'lymouth 
town  records,  ]>.  112,  the  entry  of  the  Iiirths  of  the  cl'ihlrcu 
of  Thomas''  Savery  is  headed  thus:  "Children  of  Thomas 
Savery.  IJorn  Oct.  '6,  lo81."  Whoever  prompted  this  lucky 
a(hlition  to  the  name  of  the  parent  may  have  lieen  conscious  of 
the  fact  that  his  birth  was  not  elsewhere  recorded.  Thomas  in 
1000  (18  years  old)  was  a  member  of  the  South  Military  Com- 
pany of  Plymouth,  which  embraced  Hochester,  where  Samuel 
was  settled,  'i'here  was  nf)  other  Savery  than  Samuel  then  in 
I'lymouth  Comity  who  could  have  been   this  Thomas's  father.

after  his  marriage.  He  was  a  great  reader,  and  in  those  days 
had  few  equals  in  his  part  of  the  State.  I  never  saw  him 
angry,  which  few  can  say  of  a  father.  He  always  looked  at 
the  silver  lining,  however  dark  the  cloud."  His  widow  died

Benjamin*  Savkuy  (Imae',  Uriuh*,  Thoma^,  SamueP,

gator, but  for  a  time  was  a  school  teacher  in  New  Jersey,  where 
he  married  Miss  Lydia  Whitlock,  supposed  to  be  from  the 
family  of  Bulstrode  Whitlock,  of  Cromwell's  day.  In  1829  he 
removed  to  New  York  City,  and  was  in  the  employ  of  Peter 
Cooper,  the  world-renowned  millionnaire  philanthropist.  They 
were  intimate  friends,  and  the  families  still  cherish  the  mutual 
traditionary  regard.  Abandoning  commercial  pursuits,  he 
bought  a  farm  near  the  home  of  his  ancestors  in  Wareham. 
after  which  he  became  a  member  of  the  Legislature  of  hi^ 
native  State.  "  He  was  celebrated  for  his  generous,  open- 
hearted  hospitality.  No  one  sought  his  help  in  vain  or  left  his 
door  hungry.  It  may  be  said  that  he  was  too  generous,  almost 
impoverishing  himself  in  the  exuberance  of  his  kindly,  unselfish 
nature.  His  kindred  revered  him,  and  a  large  circle  of  friends 
lament  his  loss  to  this  day."  He  died  Aug.  13,  1861 ;  and 
his  widow  May  11,  188.5.

endured  much  suffering,  whieh  he  Intre  without  complaining, 
waiting  for  the  time  when  the  great  Mast**r  slumld  call  him 
iionietol)e  at  rest.  Truly  a  good  man  has  gone  to  his  reward." 
The  following  is  from  another  local  i)aper:  — 

"  Mrs.  Iliinnnli  Siivery  dletl  ut  7  A.  H.  Tuesday,  in  her  iiiuety-secoiid  year. 
SIk"  WMM  uiiionj?  tlif  older  resideiitu  of  Oneida  County.  She  wan  born  in 
I'iyniouth,  Mass.,  Oct.  2,  1703.  Her  family  name  was  (.'ornish,  and  she 
tame  from  good  Xew  England  stock,  being  one  of  a  family  of  twelve  chil- 
dren, lu  1817,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  .Savery  emigrated  to  the  town  of  Annsvllie  in 
\.\\\*  county,  settling  about  two  miles  north  of  the  present  village  of  Taberg. 
Thin  section  was  then  accounted  the  far  west,  and  an  almost  unbroken  wilder- 
mxs  presented  itself  to  the  young  couple.  They  came  with  an  ox  team, 
bringing  all  their  goods  and  chattels  in  a  covered  wagon.  Col.  Richard  O. 
Sjivery,  their  only  child,  was  in  his  fifth  year.  They  went  resolutely  to 
work  to  make  for  themselves  a  home,  Mr.  Savery  clearing  the  forest  and 
burning  charcoal.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Savery  lived  on  the  homestead  until  1872, 
and  reared  a  large  family.  Tliey  were  among  the  early  members  of  the 
Tiiberg  Baptist  Church. 

"  Mrs.  Savery  was  a  very  sociable  and  agreeable  old  lady,  and  was  always

full  of  life;  it  was  ti  pli'UAurt!  to  talli  with  her.  Her  memory  was  blight 
and  clear,  and  her  mind  was  fitored  with  recollections  of  ei.rly  life  and 
timed  in  Oneida  County.  Slie  could  tell  many  interesting  anecdotes  of  the 
olden  time  that  Is  Iteyond  the  memory  of  most  people  now  living.  Hhe  re- 
tained her  natural  buoyancy  to  the  last.  Her  si<;ht  and  hearing  were 
almost  unimpaired  up  to  the  time  of  her  death.  She  could  read  without 
the  aid  of  spectacles,  and  could  hear  conversation  carried  on  in  an  ordinary 
tone.  Her  life  was  an  active  one.  She  lived  to  see  the  wildernegs  blossom 
as  the  rose,  and  to  see  the  march  of  civilization  extend  over  the  entire  con- 
tinent."

liiivt'rxlty  of  Iowa,  was  adinittud  to  the  l)ar  and  liccnst'd  to  prai'tisc  in

iiiiil  as  evidt'iicc  tliat  the  learned  professions  were  oix-n  to  her  sex.  She 
llic'ii  turned  hi-r  attention  to  travel,  and  during  her  frequent  visits  to 
Kiirope  she  \va^ie(l  ll'tle  time  at  the  j;ay  capitals,  hut  souffht  out  those 
ITHtoric  jfrouiids  wliere  she  c<»nld  study  the  huried  past  and  the  lives  of 
those  fjreat  actors  who  had  niatle  a  nation's  history  and  left  tlieir  names 
upon  lier  monuments. 

"She  gathered  in  the  classic  treasures  of  fiveece  and  l{ome  and  studied 
llilile  history  throu>;h  K;;ypt,  Palestine  to  .lerusaieui,  and  hecaine  more 
l.iiiiillar  with  it  than  most  of  the  learned  theoloifians.  She  seemed  to  me 
III  have  read  all  history,  all  reli;;ioiis,  and  was  one  of  the  hest  Shakespearian 
■ii'holars  I  ever  (<iiw,  an  unceasing;  thinker  and  worker  in  any  tteld  of  knowl- 
eil>:e.  Having;  aecustomeil  herself  to  compact  analojiii-al  reasoniiij;,  her 
ciinversatioiis  more  nearly  resenihled  preimred  discourses,  which  if  taken 
down  at  the  time  would  have  reijuired  no  revision  of  its  rhi'toric  orjirammat- 
ical  constrtictiou.  .Vnd  yet,  with  such  n;ifts  as  1  have  hut  hrietly  sketched, 
^<lie  seemed  to  have  so  little  appreciated  her  own  powers  of  orifrinal 
ilioiijrht,  tliat  when  solicited  hy  a  puhlisher  and  hy  her  intimate  friends  to 
jirepare  u  set  of  essays  upon  dirterent  tliemes  to  which  she  had  <;iven  her 
lii'iiicipal  thoujjht,  sh(?  would  reply  (as  she  once  did  t()'ne), 'It  is  not 
more  hooks  that  people  need,  hut  mon^  readers  for  hooks  already  printed. 
Whatever  I  mi^lit  have  to  say  lias  already  heen  said  in  hooks  already 
minle,  and  has  heen  expressed  in  hetter  form  than  I  can  put  it  in.' 

"  Heail/.inji;  the  fact  that  her  disease  mijtht  terminate  her  life  at  any 
iiiDincnt,  she  talked  ahout  death  with  the  same  freedom  and  cheerfulness 
"III'  would  upon  an  anticipated  Journi-y  to  Ein-ope  or  i  Isewhere.

Upon  thy  bii'r  this  flower  in  mem'ry  cast. 
Lover  of  iiatin-e,  when  thou  layest  low. 
The  skies  were  sad,  and  in  tlie  d.arksome  night 
That  saw  thee  die,  all  nature,  weeping  sore. 
Wove  of  her  tears  a  mantle  pure  and  white. 
And  spread  it  o'er  her  breast  to  mourn  thee,  dead.

Alfrei*  William'  Sa vaky (Safnne^,Nathan\  Uriah*,  ThomaxK

at  King's  College,  Windsor,  N.  S.,  the  oldest  univeraity  in 
Canada.  Studied  law  and  practised  fouryeara  in  St.  John,  N.  H. 
Uetunied  to  Nova  Scotia,  and  practised  in  Digby ;  was  inspec- 
tor of  schools  for  Digby  County  three  yeai-s ;  nieniVjer  for  the 
same  county  in  the  Hi-st  and  second  Parliaments  of  the  Dominion 
of  Canada  (18H7  to  1874);  created  queen's  counsel  1870,  and 
was  appointed  judge  of  the  newly  established  county  courts 
for  the  counties  of  Aiuiapolis,  Digby,  and  Yarmouth,  Aug.  21. 
187»).  Married  Feb.  20,  1877.  Bessie  Crooksliank,  daughter  of 
Henry  P.  Otty,  of  St.  John,  N.  B.,  whose  father,  Allen 
Otty,  a  retired  commander  in  the  Royal  Navy,  was  born  in 
the  old  Danish  town  of  Whitby,  in  Yorkshire,  Nov.  18,  1784. 
The  name  Otty  is  Scandinavian,  and  with  the  birthplace,*  fixes 
the  descent  of  the  family  from  the  Danish  invaders  of  England. 
"  Saxon,  and  Norman,  and  Dane  are  we."  It  is  akin  to  the 
German  Otto,  Otho,  etc.,  still  used  as  a  Christian  name  on  the 
Continent,  but  rarely  among  English-speaking  people  not  of 
German  origin.  Under  the  older  forms,  Ote,  Otte,  Otere. 
Alum  Otere,  the  name  is  found  in  English  records  from  the 
thirteenth  to  the  fifteenth  centuries,  and  Otere  in  i!ic  Domesday 
book.  Lower  says  that  "  Walter  Fitz  Other  [which  would  now 
be  ex[)ressed  " Walter,  the  son  of  Otty"],  the  celebrated  castel 
Ian  of  Windsor,  temp.  William  I.,  the  ancestor  of  the  Fitzger- 
alds.  Gerards,  Windsor,  and  other  great  families,  was  the  son 
of  Otherus,  a  great  landowner  under  Edward  the  Confessor." 
Here  we  have  the  name  I^atinized,  whence  we  have  a  retranslii- 
tion  with  the  favorite  English  termination  e  ov  y  (old  English  c 
modern  y).  Isigram,  in  his  translation  of  the  Saxon  Chronicle, 
says  the  name  was  Oht-here,  or  Ocht-here,  i.  <?.,  "Terror  '>f 
an  army  "  (j)ht  or  ocht,  a  host,  or  armj-,  and  Iwre,  fear).     "  Fe:ir 

•  Wliltl)y,  meaning  "  wliltc  town,"  was  founded  by  the  Danes,  The  termination  hii, 
In  Danish  towns.  Is  equivalent  to  the  riUe  In  Norman,  and  ton  In  Snxon.

FOURTH  GENERATION. 
1. 

Thomas*  Saveky  {Thomax^,  SamueP,  Thomas^),  was  born 
April  20,  1710;  and  married  PrisciHa,  daughter  of  Ichabod  Pad- 
dock, the  ancestor  of  the  North  and  South  Carver  branches. 
But  few  reliable  traditions  concerning  him  have  come  down  to 
us.  It  is  said  that  he  was  carried  away  iis  a  prisoner  of  war 
to  one  of  the  French  West  Indies,  and  kept  there  two  years. 
There  is  sufficient  to  indicate  that  he  was  fairly  prosperous,  and 
re-pect«d  in  the  community  where  he  lived.

Tlie  Tlioinas  Saveiv  who  came  in  the  "  Maiy  and  John,"  I  have, 
as  already  noticed,  traced  from  I})swicli  to  Newport,  R.  I.,  and 
there  lost  him.  Tiie  ship  arrived  May  1, 1034,  over  a  year  after 
the  lii-st  mention  of  the  first  Thomas  at  Plymouth.  She  hail 
also  among  her  passengers  one  William  Savery.*  In  the  sprinp 
of  1635  a  band  of  twenty-three  iiei-sons  moved  over  from  Ipswich 
and  laid  the  venerable  foundations  of  old  Newbury,  now  New- 
bury, West  Newbury,  and  Newburyport.  The  Rev.  Thomas 
Parker  removed  from  Ipswich  in  order  to  retain  his  connection 
with  some  of  his  attached  friends  from  Wiltshire,  and  again 
many  Wiltshire  i)eople  who  had  come  with  him  to  Ipswich  fol- 
lowed him  to  Newbury.  I  find  many  William  Saverys  on  tiic 
records  of  Ilanington,  Wiltshire,  near  the  early  home  of  this 
celebrated  Puritan  divine,  but  none  whom  I  can  positively 
identify  as  tlie  disciple  who  followed  him  to  America.  Whethci' 
William,  with  a  young  son  Roljert,  was  among  these  early 
removals  to  Newlnny,  or  whether  Rol)ert's  was  a  distinit 
migration  from  England,  there  is  nothing  on  the  records  tn 
show,  but  there  is  reason  to  believe  that  in  either  case  Rol)eit 
was  born  in  England,  for  on  Dec.  8, 1(550,  he  mariied  Mary,  wlui 
had  been  the  widow  of  William  Mitchell  since  July  10, 1054 ;  and 
if  he  was  then  as  old  as  twenty-two  years  and  eight  months,  his

Japan  has  lj«eii  of  late  years  perniitted  to  resume  her  ancient 
sovereignty  over  tlieni.  The  followinj^  account  of  the  coloiiiz;i- 
tion  of  the  ishvnds  by  Savory  and  his  associates  is  from  '•('h;iiii- 
bers'  Encyclop»!dia  " :  "In  1880,  I**  el  Island,  the  centre  of  the 
group,  was  settled,  in  connection  with  the  whaling  business,  liv 
a  motley  colony,  —  an  Englishman,  an  Italian,  a  Dane,  two 
Americans,  and  fifteen  Sandwich-Islanders  (five  men  and  t<'n 
women),  under  the  auspices  of  a  '  union  jack.' " 

The  following  was  written  by  a  memlier  of  Commou  n- 
Perry's  eventful  expedition  to  Japan  in  1853,  in  Harper's  Mai/a- 
zine  for  March,  185H  :*  »'In  1830  a  colony  of  Americans  and 
Europeans  came  to  Peel  Isiund  from  the  Sandwich  Islands. 
having  in  their  ti-ain  several  native  male  and  female.  Kanakas. 
This  is  the  nucleus  of  a  population  which  amounted  only  t(i 
thirty-one  all  told  on  the  visit  of  Commodore  Perry.  One 
Nathaniel  Savory,  a  New  England  Yankee,  is  looked  up  to  us 
a  sort  of  patriarch  of  the  people,  and  he  manages  to  sustain 
himself  with  the  proper  degree  of  dignity.  This  man  has  mar- 
ried a  native  of  Guam,  the  widow  of  one  of  the  fii-st  settlers. 
and  what  with  an  increasing  family  of  young  Savorys,  the  cul- 
tivation of  a  patch  of  alluvial  land,  bounded  in  front  towards 
the  bay  by  a  coral  reef,  and  in  the  rear  by  a  wooded  gorge. 
which  stretches  between  two  hills  which  rise  from  the  interior. 
and  the  proverbial  ingenuity  of  his  countrymen  in  making  the 
best  of  the  accidental  circumstances  of  life,  seems  to  be  in  a 
highly  prosperous  condition.  Savory  contrives  to  raise  such 
abundant  harvests  of  sweet  potatoes,  maize,  onions,  pine- 
apples, bananas,  and  watermelons  that  he  not  only  has  enough 
for  himself  and  family,  but  a  surplus  to  spare  for  the  whalers 
who  frequent  the  Bonins  for  supplies.  Whatever  may  be  the 
theoretical  views  of  Savory  upon  the  all-absorbing  question  of 
the  Maine  law,  he  evidently  practically  disapproves  of  it,  for  he 
has  constructed  a  still  and  is  famous  for  making  the  best  rum 
in  all  the  Bonins.     He  has  a  pretty  enough  cottage  with  neat

March  20,  1862,  published  in  the  Georgetown,  Manin.,  Ailrocate, 
Oct.  23,  1880,  and  said  to  be  "elegantly"  constructed  and

isliiiid  for  two  years,  which  period  he  served,  and  was  elected  for 
three  years  more.  The  Japanese  authorities,  after  their  anival,

Hon.  Geohok'- Savaky  ( 5r//'>w<j/,  John^,  T/iomair\  William'', 
Robert^),  was  born  Jan.  30,  1798 ;  and  inai-riitd  Louisa,  daugh- 
ter of  Benjamin  Halnh.  He  was  in  tlie  Hixtli  generation  from 
John  Balch,  who  it  is  supposed  came  to  Anu'rica  with  (iorges 
in  1623,  through  Renjamin',  FreelM)rn'',  WilliamS  William''. 
(See  "Boston  Historical  and  Genealogical  Register,"  Vol.  IX., 
p.  233.)  Like  the  Saverys,  the  Balches  were  eleaily  an  English 
family  of  ancient  Norman  extraction,  but  dating  in  England 
further  back,  for  the  name  is  in  the  illustrious  »•  lioll  of  Battle 
Al)l)ey,"  the  list  of  the  principal  chiefs  and  knights  who 
fought  for  William  at  Hastings,  deposited  by  him  in  the  Ablxjy 
wliich  he  built  on  the  Held  of  his  immortal  victory.  In  business 
Mr.  Savary  was  engaged  in  the  manufacture  of  l»oot«  and  shoes, 
on  a  very  extended  scale.  After  tilling  many  minor  positions, 
he  was  a  meml)er  of  the  Ma.ssacliusetts  House  of  Representa- 
tives four  terms,  from  Bradford  East  Parish,  and  thence  wai* 
elected  to  the  State  Senate  in  1H43,  and  was  the  candidate  of 
his  party  for  the  office  of  lieutenant-governor.  The  following 
obituary  is  from  a  contemporary  paper :  — 

"  The  death  of  Mr.  Savary  will  lie  felt  as  a  public  loss. 
Though  not  a  great  talker,  he  was  a  man  of  marked  ability, 
possessed  an  influence  of  very  considcM-able  extent,  and  had 
mingled  quite  largely  in  [jublic  affaii's.  He  had  Iwen  several 
times  State  senator,  and  was  supported  by  the  Democratic 
party,  to  which  he  had  always  adhered,  as  its  candidate  for 
Presidential  elector,  for  lieutenant-governor,  etc.  At  home, 
in  the  midst  of  his  family  and  his  neighbors,  the  life  of  Mr. 
Savary  was  veiy  l)eautiful.  He  was  never  known  to  exhibit 
any  asperity;  was  always  kind,  considerate,  and  ready  to  help, 
ami  tew  men  have  ever  l)een  moie  endeared  to  those  with  whom 
they  came  in  daily  contact.  Injury  and  insidt  he  put  aside  in  a 
•luiet  and  tuimoved  way  (piite  peculiar  to  himself,  and.  if 
allowed  to,  soon  suffered  the  matter  to  fall  from  his  mind.  It 
is  the  imaijimous  testimony  of  those  who  knew  him   best   that

they  hiive  never  seen  Iuh  e(piiil  in  this  resjteet.  In  times  of 
peeuniary  (liKtreHs  lie  made  it  ii  point  t«)  jjive  employnient  ti> 
|»nor  and  sufferinjj  peixons;  aiul  in  respect  to  all  his  nmrt' 
immediate  relations,  it  is  not  eulogy  but  simple  stJitemeiit  of 
fact  tr»  say  that  he  may  U'  jtrojtosed  as  a  model.  Of  late  lie 
has  taken  fjreat  interest  in  the  Independent  Chureh  in  (Imvc- 
land  ;  and  he  is  rememlK-red  with  especial  jjratitude  and  athi'- 
tion  by  the  mendK^ix  of  the  society." 

Also  the  following:  "In  the  sudden  death  of  this  active  and 
enterprising  citizen,  not  only  his  family,  hut  (uir  town  and  tlic 
whole  community  have  suffered  an  irreparable  loss.  A  fe^liiifr 
of  sadness,  not  confined  to  any  sect  or  party,  has  pervaded  tlic 
town  from  the  moment  it  was  known  that  he  was  seriously 
ill.  Kvery  pei-son  in  active  life  in  this  ccmmiunity  for  ncailv 
forty  years  has  known  and  appreciated  the  business  talents,  ilic 
open-hearted  lilK-rality,  and  the  social  qualities  of  (iKulMii; 
Savakv.  and  his  demise  has  left  a  void  in  society  which  it  will 
take  lonfif  yeai-s  t(»  till.  In  all  the  relations  of  life  and  Imsiiicss 
he  was  always  the  able  an<l  eHicieiit  friend,  or  the  fair  and  Imn- 
orable  opponent."  And  the  following:  "As  a  politician  In- 
wiis  a  Hrm  and  consistent  Democrat,  freely  allowing  to  all  an 
honest  difference  of  opinion."  The  church  of  which  he  was  a 
nicmlH-r  adopted,  on  the  occasion  of  his  death,  resolutions  of 
more  tlian  ordinary  feeling  and  p(twer.  He  died  March  '!><, 
1H;')4.  and  his  widow.  June  1,  188",  aged  84  yeai-s  11  niniitlis. 
Of  her  a  contemporary  paper  saiil  :  "  During  his  [itev.  David 
Wasson's]  ministry  in  (xroveland,  he  gave  a  great  impi'tiis  [» 
progressive  thought,  and  Mr.  Savary  and  his  wife  were  aindiijr 
his  loyal  supporters.  Her  heart  was  large,  her  hospitality 
abounding.  The  doors  of  her  home  were  not  more  wi<lely  (i|iiii 
than  was  her  heart  to  invite  to  the  comfort  and  cheL-r  of  lui

married  Ahigail  llodrfden,  in  the  record  described  as  of  Roches- 
ter, N.  II.,  but  her  descendants  say  of  Farmington,  whither  he 
soon  removed  with  most  of  his  children,  for  this  was  a  second 
marriage.  One  tradition  gives  his  fii-st  wife's  name  as  Barker, 
but  another,  apparently  more  reliable,  names  her  Emily  Mil- 
ler, and  says  further  that  she  was  born  at  Gravely  Ridffe, 
Portsmouth,  and  that  her  father  once  owned  a  "  handsoiue 
estate "  in  England,  which,  descending  to  the  eldest  son, 
passed  out  of  the  family.  The  dates  of  his  birth,  fii-st  mar- 
riage, and  death  have  eluded  all  mj'  researches.

WILLIAM  SAVEUY. 


Wii^MAM  Savkky  was  1)1)111  ill  tlie  city  of  IMiiladelphia  in 
tlie  year  17'>0  ;  received  an  e<liu;atioii  in  the  principles  of  tiie 
C'liiistian  relijrion  as  professed  hy  the  Society  of  Friends,  and 
was  placeil  with  a  Friend  in  the  country  to  learn  the  husiiicss 
of  a  tanner.  Keturning  to  the  city  at  the  expiration  of  his 
upprentic^eship,  he  for  a  time  mingletl  with  gay  and  thonghtliss 
companions,  and  led  a  life  of  ease,  comfort,  and  pleasure,  whir'i 
he  afterwards  pathetically  descrihed  as  a  revolt  fr-in  the  patiis 
of  purity  and  i)eace.  Activity  of  spirits,  loose  discoui-se,  and 
noisy  mirth  were  often  resorted  to  as  a  means  of  drowning  tiic 
serious  reflections  that  sometim»;s  intruded  themselves  upon 
liim.  Social  in  his  disposition  and  genial  in  his  habits,  lie  was 
no  stranger  to  the  tavern  and  other  places  of  public  diversion: 
and,  having  a  sense  of  humor  and  fondness'  for  the  huli- 
crous,  he  indulged  a  habit  which  in  his  after  years  he  mui  ii 
deploied.  of  relating  mirth-provoking  tales,  strained  beyond  tiic 
strict  triuh  for  the  sake  of  embellishment  and  zest.  He  was 
evidfiiitly  by  Jiature  reverential,  and  extremely  conscientious: 
penitence  followed  more  and  more  on  the  unsaiictihed  enjoy- 
ments of  such  a  life  as  he  was  lei'ding,  and  nights  of  sorrow 
often  succeeded  days  of  careless  pleasure,  and  he  was  sometinus 
favored  to  see  in  i)art  the  beauty  of  holiness,  but  fearful,  if  lif 
should  turn  his  ba(dv  upon  tiie  world,  of  incurring  the  scorn  nt 
its  votaries.  .Vftcr  many  spiritual  biiptisnis.  in  response  to  lii> 
ardent  struggles  to  olitaiii  the  favor  of  (Jod.  at  length,  in  ITTs.

iiif,'  in  her  household  a  eonsumjitive  man  who  had  l)rouj,dit  in 
su  much  of  his  property  that  his  family  was  left  destitute,  upon 
which  he  exclaims,  "Oh,  wretched  infatuation  I  that  can 
lireak  the  most  solenui  ties  of    God  and  nature,  and  vet   Hatter 


its  votaries   that   they  are   the  favorites  of  heaven. 


At 


one 


ivlifjfious  meeting  there  were  present  a  gftod  many  Indians  who 
had  received  some  instructions  in  Christianity  from  missionaries, 
and  desired  to  open  the  worship  by  singing  some  psalms  and 
hymns,  a  wish  that  he  deemed  it  advisable  under  the  eircum- 
>tances  to  accede  to,  on  which  he  remarked  that  the  melody  and 
softness  of  their  voices  in  the  Indian  language,  and  the  swt^et- 
Mtss  and  harmony  that  attended  it,  exceeded  by  far  anything  of 
the  kind  he  had  ever  heard  among  white  people,  and  that  there 
ill  the  woods  the  satisfaction  of  hearing  these  poor  luitiitored 
|ii'iiple  sing,  with  every  ajipearance  of  devotion,  their  Maker's 
praise,  and  the  serious  attention  to  the  word  delivered  <o  them, 
miispired  to  make  it  a  most  solemn  meeting,  long  to  be  remeni-

mid  his  friends  had  a  discussion  with  Tom  I'aiiie.  the  iiiHdel 
iinthor  of  "The  Age  of  Heason."  He  says  that  Paris  "contains 
almost  everything  to  gratify  the  eyes  of  the  curious,  the  desires 
nf  the  voluptuotis,  the  talents  of  the  learned,  and  tlie  dissipa- 
tion of  the  gay  and  fashionable  world :  hut  has  little  to  satisfy 
the  soul  longing  after  celestial  riches."  After  travelling 
through  the  South  of  France  with  many  interesting  vicissitudes 
and  incidents,  he  returned  to  Paris,  and  on  the  way  to  Dun- 
kirk was  hospitably  entertained  hy  one  Christopher  I'otter,  who 
lived  on  imrt  of  the  estate  formerly  owned  liy  the  Prince  de

I'Ued  in  France  at  fourteen  hundred.

At  an  age  when  a  graver  form  of  rebuke  might  have  rept'ljid 
her,  a  gentleman  of  high  principle  formed  a  strong  and  anhiit

1797,  she  writes  in  her  journal:  "^lymind  i.s  in  sodi'ik  a  stati

ilcso'hes  this  eventfiU  day:  "On  that  day  we  seven  sisters  sat 
a-  usual  in  a  row,  under  the  gallery,  at  meeting.  I  sat  hy 
jlitsey:  William  Savery  was  there;  we  liked  to  have  yearly 
iiu'eting  Friends  to  preaeh  —  it  was  a  little  change.  Betsey 
wiis  generally  rather  restless  at  meeting,  and  on  this  day  I 
rinieml)er  her  very  .smart  boots  were  a  great  amusement  to  me  ; 
tlicy  were  purple,  laeed  with  scarlet.  At  last  William  Savery 
litgan  to  preach.  His  voice  and  manner  were  arresting,  and 
\vc  all  liked  the  sound:  her  attention  became  fixed, at  last  I  saw 
litr  l^-gin  to  weep,  and  she  lieeame  a  good  deal  agitated.  As 
soon  as  meeting  was  over,  I  liave  a  remendnance  of  her  making 
iicr  way  to  the  men's  side  of  the  .  leeting,  and  having  found  my 
father  she  begged  him  if  she  might  dine  w'ith  William  Savery 
at  the  Cirovfc  (the  residence  of  her  uncle.  Joseph  (Jurney),  to 
wiiich  he  soon  consented,  though  rather  stiiprised  by  the  re- 
(|iicst:  we  went  home  as  usual,  and.  for  a  wonder,  we  wished 
to  gii  again  in  the  afternoon.  I  have  imt  the  same  clear  remem- 
Kiance  of  this  meeting,  but  the  next  scene  that  has  fastened 
itself  on  my  memory  is  our  return  home  in  the  carriage. 
I'xtsey  sat  in  the  middle,  and  astonished  us  all  by  the  feeling 
slic  shoved.  She  wept  most  of  the  way  home.  The  next 
Illuming,  William  Savery  came  to  breakfast,  and  ])reached  to 
oiir  dear  sister  after  l)reakfast,  prophesying  of  the  high  and  im-

'"  JSl'NltAV,  11.  —  It  is  veryditlerent  to  this  day  week  (aday  never  to  befnr- 
gotten  while  memory  lasts).  .  .  .  To-day  I  have  felt  all  my  old  irreliginiw 
fetdings.  My  object  shall  be  to  search,  try  to  do  right,  and  If  I  am  iiii-;- 
taken,  it  is  not  my  faidt.  but  the  state  I  am  now  in  makes  it  difficult  in 
act.  What  little  religion  1  have  felt  has  been  owing  to  my  giving  awav 
(juietly  an(i  1)unibly  to  my  feelings:  but  the  more  I  reason  uj)on  it.  the 
more  1  get  into  a  labyrinth  of  uncertainty,  and  my  mind  is  so  much  inclini'd 
to  both  scepticism  and  enthusiasm,  that  if  I  argue  and  doubt,  I  shall  be  w 
total  si-eptic:  if,  on  the  contrary,  I  give  way  to  it.  ami.  as  It  were,  wait  for 
religion,  1  maj' be  led  away.  Hut  I  ho[ie  that  will  not  be  the  case :  at  ;ill 
eviMits,  religion,  true  and  inicorrnpted.  is  of  all  comforts  the  greatest :  it  is 
the  rtrst  stimulus  to  virtue;  it  is  a  support  under  every  attViction.  I  am  sure 
it  is  better  to  be  so  iu  an  enthusiastic  way  th:in  not  to  be  so  at  all.  for  it  is 
a  delighful  enthusiasm." 

Iiniiiediiitely  after  tlii.s,  with  the  con.sent  of  her  father,  she

an  arm  stringer  than  hninan  to  lean  iiiion,  to  lead  us  out  of  and  keip  in 
from  pollutiiii;  things,  which  himlcr  our  access  to,  anil  confidence  in  ihn

tiides  of  time,  is  disposed  to  he  our  invincible  Shepherd,  <iuardian,  im  i 
F'riend,  in  whom  we  may  trust,  anil  never  be  afraid;  but  this  bles-<ci| 
coutiilence  is  not,  cannot  be  enjoyed  liy  the  gay,  the  giddy.  j)rouil,  ur 
abandoned  votaries  of  this  world. 

It  is  the  peculiar  privilege  of  those  who  are  sincerely  endeavoring  to 
wash  tlii'ir  hands  in  innocency.  that  they  may  compass  the  altar  of  *',<,.] 
availiugly.  I  have  esperieuced  what  it  is  to  be  under  the  im|ierious  anil 
slavish  dominion  of  n»y  own  uncontrolled  passions;  and  I  know  tlini 
sui'h  a  state  is  abundantly  mixed  with  the  wormwood  and  the  gall,  ami  I 
have  been,  through  adorable  mercy,  convinced  there  is  au  inflnitely  nmii' 
happy  one  to  be  attained,  even  in  this  life:  an  enjoyment,  under  the  \>rr- 
fect  law  of  liberty,  of  that  serene  state  of  mind  wherein  tliere  is  im 
condemnation,  as  I'aul  speaks,  the  law  of  the  spirit  of  life  iu  Christ  .lesm. 
setting  tile  soul  free  from  tile  law  of  sin  iind  death.  I  do  not  pretend,  iiiv 
dear  friend,  to  boast  myself  as  having  attained  such  an  uninterru])ted  stan'. 
_\-et  the  transient  foretaste  which  we  partake  of,  in  jjroportion  to  mir 
obedience  to  revealed  duty,  is  enough  to  inspire  the  soul  of  every  Christian 
soldier  so  to  run,  through  (Jod's  merc_v  and  grace,  that  we  may  obtain  tlir 
full  and  complete  enjoyment  of  it.  There  are  many  formal  professors  ut 
religion,  who  think  to  obtain  peace  with  God  by  a  critical  exactness,  ami 
even  rigid  austerity  in  outward  observances,  and  outside  formalities,  as 
well  as  many  who  from  constitution  or  habit  are  always  exliibitii'g  tin- 
dark  and  gloomy  side  of  religion,  not  having,  in  my  humi  le  opinioti,  their 
minds  siillicieiitly  expanded  by  Just  conceptions  of  the  adorable  love  and 
mercy  of  tiod:  and  both  of  these  spread  a  discouraging  report  of  the 
good  land,  or  of  the  way  which  our  Heavenly  Father  has  appointed  for  us 
to  obtiiin  jmssession  of  it.  I  speak  only  my  own  experience,  dear  Klizabetli. 
when  I  say,  that  whenever  1  have  found  my  way  more  than  usually  strewn 
with  thorns,  I  have  generally  discovered,  on  a  deep  scrutiny  of  mylieart. 
it  has  been  the  fruit  of  some  open  or  secret  departure  from  the  paths  of 


obedience  and  virti 


that  1  am  contirmed  it  is  in  our  own  wavs  we  an 


corrected:  but  the  ways  of  the  Lord  are  ways  of  pleasantness,  and  all 
his  paths  are  peai'e.  I  know  very  well  that  the  most  virtuous,  being 
children  of  frail  humanity,  and  tliis  world  not  designed  to  be  the  i)lace  of 
their  undisturbed  rest,  liut  a  schoid  of  discipline,  to  i)repare  them  for  a 
better,  are  sulijevt  to  alllictions  as  well  as  others;  still  there  is  this  dilVei- 
ence  in  the  midst  of  them  all.  that  while  the  votary  of  this  world  i- 
overwhelmed  with  nuirinuring  and  repining,  and  agitiited  with  sorroxv 
which  worketh  death  under  the  adiictive  dispensation,  that  all  moi'e  or

replied  that  he  valued  the  connection,  and  hoped  the  faniilv

of  the  conveiisation,  desired  him  to  repeat  it;  was  much  pleased 
with  the  idea,  and  spoke  of  it  to  her  daughters  with  satisfm- 
tion.  And  yet.  alas  I  the  family  ctmipact  was  broken  only  foiu'.

War  of  1812?  The  emphatic  and  ?lo(iueut  protest  against  it  liy 
the  people  of  New  England,  which  we  still  rememl)er  witli 
deep  gratitude,  confirms  us  in  our  opinion  that  it  wa.s  imt 
altogether  the  fault  of  our  government;  and  it  is  significant 
that  not  one  of  President  Madison's  grounds  for  the  declaration 
of  war  was  so  much  as  even  mentioned  in  the  treatv  of  peace. 
Should  it  ever  luifortunately  occur  that  the  family  compact  is 
broken  again,  we  in  Canada  are  determined  that  it  shall  l)e  liy 
no  fault  of  ours,  unless  to  cling  tenaciously  to  our  own  little 
l)atrimony,  in  the  spirit  of  the  race  from  which  we  all  come,  is 
to  be  deemed  a  fault.  When  in  the  treaty  of  1783,  Lord  Shel- 
burne,  in  spite  of  the  pressure  of  France,  America's  ally,  to  tlie

He  told  the  king  and  (pieen  that  he  desired  to  end»race  the

APPENDIX  B. 


THOMAS  SA VERY.  — HIS  FHIE  ENGINE. 

FROM    THE    "LIVES    OF    BOLTON    AND    WATl'."    BY    SASTUEL 

SMILES,    AUTHOR    OF    "SELF-HELl','     "INDUSTRIAL 

BIOGRAPHY,"  ETC.,  REPUBLISHED  IN  THIS 

VOLUME  BY  SPECIAL  PERMISSION 

OF  THE  AUTHOR. 


The  attempts  hitherto  made  to  invent  a  workinp  steam 
engine  had  not  been  attended  with  much  success.  The  most 
that  could  be  said  of  them  was,  that,  by  demonstrating  the 
impracticable,  they  were  gradually  leading  other  experimenters 
in  the  direction  of  the  practicable.  AUhougli  the  progress 
seemed  but  slow,  the  amount  of  '>t  result  was  by  no  means 
inconsiderable.  Men  were  becoming  letter  acquainted  with 
the  elastic  force  of  steam.  The  vacuum  produced  by  its  con- 
densation in  a  closed  vess«  1,  and  the  consequent  atmospheric 
pressure,  had  been  illustrat  d  by  repeated  experiments ;  and 
many  separate  and  minor  inventions,  which  afterwards  jjroved 
of  great  value,  had  been  made,  such  as  the  four-way  cock,  the 
safety  valve,  and  the  piston  movin^  in  a  cylinder.  The  prin- 
ciple of  a  true  steam  engine  had  not  only  been  demonstrated, 
but  most  of  the  separate  parts  of  stich  an  engine  had  been  con- 
trived by  various  inventors.  It  seemed  as  if  all  that  was  now 
wanting  was  a  genius  of  more  than  ordinary  power  to  combine 
them  in  a  complete  and  effective  whole. 

To  Thomas  Savery  is  usually  accorded  the  merit  of  having 
constructed  the  first  actual  working  steam  engine.  Little  is 
known  of  his  early  history ;  and  various  surmises  have  been 


280 


A1'1'ENI»IX    n.

formed  an  to  bin  origin  and  calling.  Some  writers  Imvc 
described  him  tis  the  captain  of  a  tin  mine;  others  as  a  na\;il 
captain  ;  while  a  third  says  he  was  an  immigrant  Fi-enchmaii.* 
We  are,  however,  enabled  to  state,  from  infonnation  connniiii- 
cated  t)y  his  descendants,  that  he  was  the  scion  of  a  well-knnwn 
Oevonsliire  family.  John  Savery,  of  Hall)erton,  or  Harberion. 
afterwards  of  Great  Totness,  was  a  gentleman  of  considemlilc 
property  in  the  reign  of  Henrj^  VIII.  In  the  sixteenth  ceii- 
tury  the  Saverys  became  connected  by  maniage  with  tlie 
Servingtons  of  Tavistock,  another  old  county  family,  one  of 
whom  served  iw  sheriff  in  the  reign  of  Edward  III.  In  loHs. 
Christopher  Savery,  the  head  of  the  family,  resided  in  Totness 
Castle,  of  which  he  was  the  owner ;  and  for  a  period  of  neail y 
forty  years  the  town  was  represented  in  Parliament  by  raembe.-s 
of  the  Savery  family.  Sir  Charles  f  served  as  sheriff  of  Devon 
in  1619.  Though  the  Saverys  took  the  side  of  Parliament  in 
resisting  the  despotic  [mwer  i).ssumed  by  Charles  I.,  they  never- 
theless held  a  moderate  coui-se,  for  we  find  Col.  Savery,  in 
1643,  attaching  his  name  to  the  famous  "round  robin,"  pre- 
sented to  Parliament.  Richard  Savery,  the  youngest  son  of  the 
colonel,  was  father  of  Thomas  Savery,  the  inventor  of  the  "  fire 
engine."  Other  memliers  of  the  Savery  family,  liesides  Thomas, 
were  distinguished  for  their  prosecution  of  physical  science. 
Thus  we  find  from  the  family  MSS.,  Servington  Savery  cor- 
responding with  Dr.  Jurin,  secretary  to  the  Royal  Society, 
respectijig  an  improvement  which  he  had  made  in  the  barome- 
ter, and  communicating  the  results  of  some  magnetic  experi- 
ments of  a  novel  kind,  which  he  had  recently  performed.^

Iz.,  a  brother  of  iiiv 


Thomas  Savery  was  bom  at  Shilston,  near  Modlmry,  in 
Devon,  about  the  year  1650.  Nothing  is  known  of  his  early 
life  beyond  that  he  was  educated  to  the  i)rofe8sion  of  a  military 
engineer,  and  in  course  of  time  duly  reached  the  rank  of 
Trench-master.  The  corps  of  engineers  was  not,  however, 
regarded  as  an  essential  part  of  the  militaiy  force  until  the  year 
1787,  when  the  officers  ranked  with  those  of  the  Royal  Artil- 
lery. The  puiwuit  of  his  profession,  as  well  as  his  natural  dis- 
position, led  Savery  to  the  study  of  mechanics,  and  he  liecame 
well  accomplished  in  the  physical  knowledge  of  his  time.  He 
occupied  much  of  his  spare  time  in  mechanical  experiments  and 
in  projecting  and  executing  contrivances  of  various  sorts. 
One  of  his  early  works  was  a  cloc".,  still  pi-e-served  in  the 
family,*  which  until  lately  kept  very  good  time;  and  when 
last  repaired  by  a  watchmaker  of  Modbury  was  pronounced  to 
be  a  piece  of  very  good  work,  of  a  peculiar  construction,  dis- 
playing much  ingenuity. 

Another  of  Savery's  early  contrivances  was  a  machine  for 
polishing  plate  glass,  for  which  he  obtained  a  patent.  He  was 
occupied  about  the  same  time  with  an  invention  for  rowing 
ships  in  calms  by  the  mechanical  apparatus  subsequently  de- 
scribed in  his  treatise  entitled  "  Navigation  Improved."  He 
there  relates  how  it  troubled  his  thoughts  and  racked  his 
brains  to  find  out  this  invention,  which  he  accomplished  after 
many  experiments  conducted  "  with  gi-eat  charge."  He  nat- 
urally set  much  value  on  the  product  of  so  much  study  and 
labor;  and  he  was  proportionately  vexed  on  finding  that  others 
regarded  it  with  indifference.  He  professed  to  have  had 
"  promises  of  a  great  reward  from  the  court  if  the  thing  would 
answer  the  end  for  which  he  proposed  it " ;  but  instead  of  a 
reward,  Savery  received  only  contumely  and  .scorn.  He  attril>- 
uted  his  want  of  success  to  the  ill -humor  of  the  then  surveyor 
of  the  navy,  who  reported  against  his  engine,  because,  said  he,

"  it's  the  nature  of  some  men  to  deciy  all  inventions  that  are 
not  the  product  of  their  own  brains."  He  only  asked  for  a  fair 
trial  of  his  paddle-boat^  believing  in  its  efficiency  and  utility  ; 
declaring  that  it  was  not  his  "  fondness  for  his  own  bratt  that 
made  him  think  so,"  but  the  favorable  opinions  of  several  very 
judicious  person^  in  town,  that  encouraged  him  to  urge  his 
invention  for  public  adoption. 

The  invention  in  question  consisted  of  a  boat  mounted  with 
two  paddle-wheels,  one  on  each  side,  worked  by  a  capstim 
placed  in  the  centre  of  the  vessel.  Savery  says  he  was  led  to 
make  the  invention  through  the  difficulty  which  had  been 
experienced  in  getting  ships  in  motion  so  as  to  place  them 
alongside  of  the  enemy  in  sea-fights,  especially  during  calm 
weather.  He  thought  that  if  our  fighting  ships  could  be  math 
to  move  independent  of  the  winds,  we  should  thereby  possess 
an  advantage  of  essential  consequence  to  the  public  service. 
"The  gentlemen,"  said  he,  "that  were  on  the  Brest  expedition 
with  my  Lord  Caermarthen.  must  know  how  useful  this  engine 
would  have  been  ;  ior  had  the}'  had  them  there  on  board  each 
ship,  they  might  have  moved  themselves  where  they  had 
pleased."  He  also  urged  the  usefulness  of  the  engine  for 
packdt-bosits,  bomb-vessels,  and  sloops,  and  especially  for  use  in 
sea-fights,  in  bringing  off  disabled  ships.  When  he  had  com- 
pleted his  invention,  he  took  steps  to  bring  it  under  the  notice 
Mr.  Secretaiy  Trenchard.  The  plan  was  shown  to  the  king, 
who  thought  highly  of  it,  and  referred  Savery  to  the  Admiralty. 
When  he  went  there  he  was  told  that  he  should  have  gone  to 
the  Navy  Board.  At  the  Navy  Board  he  was  told  that  certain 
objections  to  the  adoption  of  his  scheme  had  already  been  sent 
to  the  Admiralty. 

Savery,  having  ascertained  that  the  surveyor  was  himself  the 
author  of  the  objections,  proceeded  to  discuss  the  matter  with 
him.  But  the  surveyor  was  not  a  man  to  be  argued  out  of  his 
views  by  an  inventor ;  and  he  shut  up  Savery  with  the  remark, 
"  What  have  interloping  people,  that  have  n    concern  with  us.

to  do  to  pretend  to  contrive  or  i.ivent  thingM  for  us?"  Savery 
was  highly  indignant  at  the  official  snub,  and  publinhed  the 
conversation  in  his  treatise.  '.'  Though  one  has  found  out," 
said  he,  "  an  improvement  as  great  to  shipping  as  turning  to 
windward  or  the  Compass,  unless  you  can  sit  round  the  Green 
Table  in  crutched  Friars,  your  invention  is  danmed,  of  course  " ; 
and  the  testy  inventor  concluded :  "  All  I  have  now  to  add 
is,  that  whoever  is  angry  with  the  Truth  for  appearing  in  mean 
language  may  as  well  be  angiy  with  an  honest  man  for  his 
plain  habit ;  for,  indeed,  it  is  as  common  for  Lyes  and  Nonsense 
to  be  disguised  by  a  jingle  of  words  as  for  a  Blockhead  to  be 
hid  by  abundance  of  Peruke."  * 

Notwithstanding  his  rebuff  by  the  na\y  surveyor,  Savery 
proceeded  to  fit  up  a  small  yacht  with  his  engine,  and  tried  an 
experiment  with  it  on  the  Thames,  in  sight  of  many  thousands 
of  spectators.  The  experiment  was,  in  his  opinion,  entirely 
successful.  "  All  people,"  said  Savery,  "  seemed  to  like  the 
demonstration  of  the  use  of  my  engine,  the  public  newspapers 
speaking  very  largely  of  it,  yet  all  to  no  imrpose."  Savery  had 
already  expended  jC200  in  his  exjjeriments  on  the  paddle  boat, 
and  was  not  disposed  to  go  any  further,  now  that  government 
had  decided  not  to  take  up  the  invention.  Indeed,  its  practical 
utility  was  doubtful.  The  power  of  the  wind  was,  after  all» 
better  than  hai.d  labor  for  working  large  ships ;  and  it  con- 
tinued to  m  jntain  its  superiority  until  the  steam  engine  was 
brought  to  perfection. 

It  is  curious  that  it  should  not  have  occurred  to  Savery,  who 
invented  both  a  paddle-wheel  boat  and  a  steam  engine,  to  com- 
bine the  two  in  one  machine ;  but  he  was  probably  sick  of  the 
former  invention  which  had  given  him  so  much  vexation  and 
annoyance,  and  gave  it  up  in  disgust,  leaving  it  to  Papin,  who 
saw  both  his  inventions  at  work,  to  hit  upon  the  grand  idea  of

combining  ihe  two  in  a  Hteam  vetwel,  —  the  only  macliinc 
capable  of  effectually  and  HatiHfactorily  rowing  ships  in  a  caliii, 
or  against  wind  and  tide. 

It  i(t  probable  that  Savery  was  led  to  enter  upon  his  next  iuid 
most  important  invention  by  the  circumstance  of  his  havintr 
been  brought  up  in  the  neighborhood  of  the  mining  diHtrids. 
and  being  well  aware  of  the  great  difficulty  exi)erienced  by  tin- 
miners  in  keeping  their  pits  clear  of  water,  to  enable  them  to 
proceed  with  their  underground  operations.  The  early  tin  min- 
ing of  Cornwall  was  for  the  most  part  what  was  called  "strfam 
work,"  being  confined  mainly  to  washing  and  collecting  tlie 
diluvial  deposits  of  the  ore.  Mines  usually  grew  out  of  thcst* 
stream  works ;  the  ground  was  laid  opeit  at  the  back  of  thu 
lodes,  and  the  ore  was  dug  out  as  from  a  quarry.  Some  if 
these  old  openings,  called  "  coffins,"  are  still  to  be  met  with  in 
different  parts  of  Cornwall.  The  miners  did  not  venture  much 
l)elow  the  surface,  for  fear  of  the  water,  by  which  they  were 
constantly  liable  to  1m;  drowned  out.  But  as  the  upper  strata 
became  exhausted,  they  were  tempted  to  go  deeper  in  search  of 
the  richer  ores.  Shafts  were  sunk  to  the  lodes,  and  they  were 
followed  underground.  Then  it  was  that  the  difficulty  of  water 
had  to  be  encountered  and  overcome ;  for  unless  it  could  be 
got  riJ  of,  the  deeper  ores  of  Cornwall  were  as  so  much  buried 
treasure.  When  the  mines  were  of  no  great  depth  it  Was  pos- 
sible to  bale  out  the  water  l)y  hand  buckets;  but  this  expedient 
was  soon  exhausted,  and  the  jiower  of  hoi-ses  was  then  em- 
ployed to  dmw  the  buckets.  Where  the  lodes  ran  along  ii 
hillside,  it  was  possible,  by  driving  an  adit  from  a  lower  point, 
to  let  off  the  water  by  natural  drainage.  Hut  this  was  not  often 
found  practicable,  and  in  most  eases  it  had  to  Ije  raised  directly 
from  the  shafts  by  artificnal  methods.  As  the  quantity  in- 
creased, a  whim  or  gin  moving  on  a  perpendicular  axis  was 
employed  to  draw  the  water.  An  improvement  on  this  was  the 
rack  and  chain  pump,  consisting  of  an  endless  iron  chain 
mounted  with  kiioKs  of  doth,  stiffened  with  leather,  inclosed  in

a  wooden  iminp  of  from  Hix  to  eight  iiichuH  liort*.  tliu  lower  |Hirt 
of  which  rested  in  the  well  of  the  mine.  The  rhiiin  wiw  turned 
round  by  a  wheel  two  or  three  feet  in  diameter,  UHunlly  worked 
by  men,  and  the  IcuoIm  with  whiuh  it  wok  mounted  brought  up 
a  (itream  of  water  according  to  the  dimeniiionM  of  the  pump. 
Another  method,  considereil  the  most  effectual  of  all,  wiw 
known  as  »» the  water  wheel  and  IkjIh,"  coiiMiHting  of  a  powerful 
pump,  or  series  of  pumjM,  worked  by  a  water  wheel.  But  al- 
though there  is  no  want  of  water  underground  in  Cornwall, 
and  no  want  of  rain  al)ove  ground,  there  are  few  or  no  great 
water-courses  capable  of  driving  machinery* ;  Ijcsides,  as  the 
mines  are  for  the  most  part  situated  on  high  ground,  it  will  l)e 
obvious  that  water  power  was  available  to  onl;  a  very  limited 
extent  for  this  purpose. 

It  is  also  worthy  of  notice  that  the  early  mining  of  Cornwall 
was  carried  on  by  men  of  small  capital,  principally  by  working- 
men,  who  were  unable  to  expend  any  large  amount  of  money 
in  forming  artificial  reservoirs,  or  in  erecting  the  jMiwei-ful 
])umping  machinery  necessary  for  keei>ing  the  deeper  mines 
clear  of  water.  The  Cornish  miners,  like  the  Whitstable  oyster 
dredgers,  woi-ked  upon  the  principle  of  co-operation.  This  doc- 
trine, now  tivught  iVH  a  modern  one,  was  practised  by  them 
almost  time  out  of  mind.  The  owner  of  the  land  gave  the  use 
of  his  land,  the  adventurers  gave  their  money,  and  the  minei-s 
their  lal)or ;  all  sharing  in  the  jjroceeds  according  to  ancient 
custom.  For  the  use  of  his  land,  and  for  the  oiv  taken  from 
the  mine,  the  lord  usually  took  a  sixth  part;  but  in  considera- 
tion of  draining  the  mine,  and  in  oitler  to  encourage  the  adven- 
ture he  was  often  content  with  an  eighth,  or  it  might  Ihj  only  a 
tenth  part  of  the  produce.  The  miiiei-s,  on  their  part,  agreed  to 
divide  in  the  proportions  in  which  thej'  took  part  in  the  work. 
Their  shares  of  the  ore  raised  were  meiusured  by  kirrows,  and 
parcelled  into  heaps ;  "and  it  is  surprising,"  says  Borlase,  "to 
see  how  rejvdy  and  exact  the  reckonei-s  are  in  dividing,  though 
oftentimes  they  can  neither  write  nor  read.     The  parcels  l)eing

Inid  forth,  lotM  are  caHt,  and  then  every  {Mrcel  hiw  a  (liMtin'  i 
mark  hiid  on  it  with  one,  two,  or  three  HtoneH,  and  Honietinu-s  ;i 
hit  of  Htick  or  turf  stuck  up  in  the  middle  or  side  of  the  pili' : 
and  when  these  marks  are  laid  on,  t)ie  parcels  may  continue 
there  half  a  year  or  more  unmoleste*!."  • 

These  were,  however,  the  early  and  primitive  days  of  mining', 
when  the  o{M>rations  wei-e  carried  on  comjMiratively  near  tlu- 
surface,  and  the  capital  invested  in  pumping  machinery  wius 
comparatively  small  in  amount.  As  the  miners  went  deeptT 
and  deeper  into  the  ground,  and  the  richer  lodes  were  stiiiik 
and  followed,  the  chai-acter  of  mining  became  considerahly 
changed.  Larger  capitals  were  required  to  sink  the  shaftn  and 
keep  them  clear  of  water  until  the  ore  was  reached ;  and  a  new 
class  of  men,  outside  the  mining  districts,  was  induced  to  ven- 
ture their  money  in  the  mines  as  a  speculation.  Yet  the  sys- 
tem al)ove  described,  thougli  greatly  modified  by  altered  cir- 
cumstances, continues  to  this  day ;  and  the  mining  of  Cornwall 
continues  to  be  carried  on  mainly  upon  the  co-opemtive  or  joint- 
i|tock  system. 

When  the  surface  lodes  l)ecame  exhausted,  the  necessity  of 
employing  some  more  efficient  method  of  pumping  the  water 
became  more  and  more  urgent.  In  one  pit  after  another  the 
miners  were  lieing  drowned  out,  and  the  operations  of  an  impor- 
tant branch  of  national  industry  were  in  danger  of  Iteing 
brought  to  a  complete  standstill.  It  was  under  these  circum- 
stances that  Capt.  Savery  turned  his  attention  to  the  contriv- 
ance of  a  more  powerful  engine  for  the  raising  of  water ;  and 
after  various  experiments,  he  became  persuaded  that  the  most 
effective  agency  for  the  purpose  was  the  power  of  steam. 
It  is  very  probable  that  he  wai?  aware  of  the  attempts  that  had 
been  previously  made  in  the  same  direction,  and  he  may  have 
gathered  many  useful  and  suggestive  hints  from  the  Marquis  of 
Worcester's  "  Centuiy  " ;  but  as  that  book  contiiined  no  plans 
or  precise  definitions  of  the  methods  by  which  the  Marquis  had

townrdM  the  contrivance  of  a  pmcticahlo  working  euf^ine.* 

How  Saverv  wiw  led  to  the  study  of  the  |M»wer  of  Htenm  has 
Iteen  difTert>ntly  stated.  DeHa^ulient  nayH  hix  own  account  waM 
tliiH:  that  having  drunk  a  fliiMk  of  Florence  at  a  tavern,  and 
thrown  tlie  empty  tliiHk  on  the  Hru,  he  called  for  t  UiMin  of 
water  to  waxh  \\in  handH,  and  |M;r(>eiving  that  the  little  wine 
left  in  the  Hattk  had  changed  to  Hteam,  he  took  the  vchhcI  hy 
the  neck  and  plunged  itM  mouth  into  the  water  in  the  iNUtin, 
when,  the  Hteam  l)eii)g  condeuHed,  the  water  \yaM  inunediately 
driven  up  into  the  fla*«k  hy  the  presstire  of  tlie  atmoHpiiere. 
DeMaguliers  <liHlielieved  this  account,  hut  admits  that  Savery 
made  many  exjierimentH  upon  the  powers  of  steam,  an<l  eveiit- 
nally  succeeded  in  making  sevend  engines  "  which  raiseil  water 
very  well."  Switzer,  who  was  on  intimate  terms  with  Savery, 
gives  another  account.  He  says  the  first  hint  from  which  he 
took  the  engine  was  from  a  tobacco  pipe,  Avhich  he  immei'sed  in 
water  to  Avash  or  cool  it,  when  he  discovered  hy  the  rarefaittion 
of  the  air  in  the  tube,  by  the  heat  or  steam,  and  the  gnivitatiou 
•or  pressure  of  the  exterior  air  on  the  condensation  of  the  latter, 
that  the  water  was  made  to  spring  through  the  tulie  of  the  pij>e 
in  a  most  surprising  manner;-)'  and  that  this  phenomenon  in- 
duced him  to  search  for  the  rationale,  and  to  prosecute  a  series 
of  experiments  which  issued  in  the  invention  of  his  tire  engine. 

However  Savery  may  have  obtained  his  fiiwt  idea  of  the 
«xpansion  and  condensation  of  steam,  and  of  atmospheric  pres- 
sure, it  is  certain  that  the  subject  occupied  his  attention  for 
many  years.  He  had  the  usual  difficulties  to  encounter  in 
dealing  with  a  wholly  new  and  untried  power,  in  contriving  the 

*The  abiurd  story  l«  told  by  Dr.  Desagullert  ("  Experimental  Plillottophr,"  II.,  va) 
that  Savery,  having  read  the  Marquis's  book,  "  was  the  flrat  to  put  In  practice  the  rnlKlng 
of  water  by  Are,  which  he  proposed  for  the  draining  of  mines  ";  and  having  copied  the 
Marquis's  engine,  "the  better  to  conr«al  the  matter,  bought  up  all  the  Maniulsof  Won^es- 
ter's  books  that  Ue  could  purchase  In  Pater  Noster  Row  and  elsewhere  and  buriieil  'em  In 
the  presence  of  the  gentleman,  his  friend,  who  told  me  this."  It  need  scarcely  lie  Aald 
that  It  was  very  unlikely  that  Savery  should  have  attempted  thus  m  conceal  an  Invention 
recorded  In  a  printed  book,  which  had  been  In  circulation  for  more  than  forty  years.

lutely  coiKjuered  them." 

Having  Huthciently  matured  his  design,  he  had  a  model  of 
his  new  "  tire  engine,"  as  he  termed  it,  made  for  exhibition 
Ixjfore  the  king  at  Hampton  Court  in  1698.  William  HI.,  who 
was  hiniseli  of  a  mechanical  turn,  was  highly  pleased  with  the 
iiigenuity  displayeci  in  Savery's  engine,  as  well  as  with  it.s 
eH^cient  action,  and  he  permitted  the  inventor  to  dedicate  to 
hint  "'Ihe  Miner's  Friend,"  containing  the  first  published 
description  of  his  inventioi:.  The  king  also  promoted  Savery's 
a]>plication  for  a  pattMit,  which  was  secured  in  July,  1698,*  and 
an  Act  confirming  it  was  passed  in  the  following  year. 

Savery's  next  step  was  to  bring  h's  invention  under  the  notice 
of  the  Koyal  Society,  whose  oi)inion  on  all  matters  of  science 
was  listi-'ned  to  with  profound  respect.  He  accordingly  ex- 
hibited his  model  at  a  meeting  held  on  the  14th  of  June,  1699, 
and  it  is  recorded  in  the  minutes  of  that  date  that  '^  Mr.  Savery 
entertained  the  Society  with  showing  his  engine  to  raise  water 
by  the  force  of  fire.  He  was  thanked  for  she  'ng  the  experi- 
ment, which  succeeded  according  to  expectation,  and  was 
approved  of."  The  inventor  presented  the  Society  with  a  dmw- 
itig  of  his  engine,  accompanied  by  a  description  which  was 
printed  in  the  "  Transactions."  f 

Savery  next  endeavored  to  bring  his  invention  into  practical 
use,  Imt  this  was  a  matter  of  much  greater  difiiculty.  So  many

Savery  wrote  and  published  his  "  Miner's  Friend."  "  I  am  not 
verj'  fond,"  he  there  said,  "  of  lying  under  the  scandal  of  a  Iwre 
projector,  and  therefoi-e  present  you  here  with  a  draught  of  my 
machine,  and  lay  Iwfore  you  the  uses  of  it,  and  leave  it  to  your 
consideration  whether  it  be  worth  your  while  to  make  use  of  it 
or  no." 

Inventoi-s  l)efore  Savery "s  time  were  wont  to  make  a  great 
mystery  of  their  inventions ;  but  he  proclaimed  that  there  was 
no  mystery  whatever  about  his  machine,  and  he  Iwlieved  that 
the  more  clearl}'  it  was  luulei'stood,  the  l)etter  it  would  l)e 
appreciated.  He  acknowledged  that  there  had  lieen  many  pre- 
tendei-s  to  new  inventions  of  the  same  sort,  who  had  excited 
hopes  which  had  never  been  fulfilled :  but  this  invention  which 
he  had  made  was  a  thing  the  uses  of  which  were  capable  of 
actual  demonstration.  He  urged  that  the  old  methods  c»f  rais- 
ing water  could  not  be  earned  further ;  and  that  an  entirely 
new  power  was  needed  to  enable  the  miner  to  prosecute  his 
underground  lalx)i-s.  "  I  fear,"  said  he,  "  that  whoever  by  the 
old  causes  of  motion  pretends  to  improvements  within  the  last 
century  does  betray  his  knowledge  and  judgment.  For  more 
than  a  hundred  yeare  since,  men  and  hoi-ses  would  raise  by 
engines  then  made  as  much  water  as  they  have  ever  done  since, 
or  I  believe  ever  will,  or,  accordin£,  to  the  law  of  nature,  ever 
can  do;  jvnd,  though  my  thoughts  have  l)een  long  employed 
about  water  works,  I  should  never  have  pictended  to  any  in- 
vention of  that  kind,  had  I  not  happily  found  out  this  new, 
but  yet  a  much  stronger  and  cheaper  force  or  cause  of  motion 
than  any  before  made  use  of."  He  proceeded  to  show  how  eivsy 
it  was  to  work  his  engine,  boys  of  thirteen  or  fourteen  yeare 
being  able  to  attend  and  work  it  to  perfection  after  a  few  days' 
teaching,  and  how  he  had  at  length,  after  great  dilticulty, 
instructed  handicraft  artificers  to  ccmstruct  the  engine  according

to  his  design,  so  that  after  much  experience,  said  he,  "  they  aie 
become  such  master  of  the  thing  that  they  oblige  themselves 
to  deliver  what  engines  they  make  exactly  tight  and  fit  for  ser- 
vice, and  as  such  I  dare  warrant  them  to  anybody  that  has  occa- 
sion for  them."*  Saveiy's  engine,  as  described  by  himself,  ci/n- 
sisted  of  a  series  of  Iwilei-s,  condensing  vessels,  and  tubes.  ItA 
principal  features  were  two  large  cylindrical  vessels,  which 
were  alternately  filled  with  steam  from  an  adjoining  boiler,  and 
with  cold  water  from  thj  well  or  mine  out  of  which  the  water 
had  to  be  raised.  When  either  of  the  hollow  vessels  was  filled 
with  steam,  and  then  suddenly  cooled  by  a  dash  of  cold  water,  a 
vacuum  was  thereby  created,  and,  the  vessel  being  closed  at  tlie 
top  and  open  at  the  lx)ttom,  the  water  was  at  once  forced  up 
into  it  from  the  well  by  the  pressure  of  the  atmosphere.  The 
st«am  being  then  let  into  the  vessel  from  the  top,  pressed  upon 
the  surface  of  the  water,  and  foroed  it  out  at  the  bottom  by 
another  pipe  (its  return  into  the  well  being  prevented  by  a 
clack),  and  so  up  the  perpendicular  pii)e  which  opened  into  the 
outer  air.  The  second  vessel  l)eing  treated  in  the  same  manner, 
the  same  result  followed ;  and  thus,  by  alternate  filling  and 
forcing,  a  continuous  stream  of  water  was  poured  out  from  the 
upper  opening.  The  whole  of  the  labor  required  to  work  the 
engine  was  capable  of  being  performed  by  a  single  man,  or 
even  by  a  boy,  after  very  little  teaching. 

Although  Savery's  plans  and  description  of  the  arrangement 
and  working  of  his  engines  are  clear  and  explicit,  he  does  not 
give  any  information  a.s  to  their  proportions,  beyond  stating 
that  an  engine  employed  in  raising  a  column  of  water  three  and 
a  half  inches  in  diameter,  sixty  feet  high,  requires  a  fireplace 
twenty  inches  deep.  Si)eaking  of  their  performances  he  says : 
"  I  have  known  in  Cornwall  a  work  with  three  lifts  of  about 
eighteen  feet  each,  lift  an'l  carry  a  Scinch  bore,  that  cost  42«.

of  tliat  time."  He  pointed  out  that  at  least  one-third  part  of 
the  then  cost  of  niising  water  might  b«!  saved  hy  the  adoption 
of  his  invention,  whidi  on  many  mines  wouhl  amount  to 
••  a  brave  estate  '*  in  the  course  of  a  year.  In  estimating  the 
p(»wer  of  Ins  engine.  Savery*  was  accustomed  to  compare  it  with 
the  (juantity  of  work  that  liorses  could  perform,  and  hence  he 
introduced  the  term  •'  hoi-sc-i»ower,"'  wliich  is  still  in  use. 

Although,  in  the  treatise  referred  to,  Savery  descrilnis  an 
engine  with  two  furnaces,  the  drawing  which  he  presented  to 
the  Koyal  Society  showed  only  one ;  and  it  ajjpeai-s  that  in 
another  of  his  designs  he  sliowed  only  one  cylindrical  vessel 
instead  of  two.  In  order  to  exhibit  the  working  of  his  engine 
on  a  larger  scale  tlian  in  the  model,  he  i)roceeded  to  erect  one 
in  a  potter's  house  at  Lamln'th,  where,  Switzer  says,  though  it 
was  a  small  engine,  the  water  struck  up  the  tiles  and  forced  its 
way  through  the  roof  in  a  manner  that  surprised  all  the  specta- 
toi's.  Switzer  mentions  other  engines  erected  aftci  Savery's 
designs  for  the  raising  of  water  at  Camden  House  and  Sion 
House,  which  proved  quite  successful.  The  former',  he  says, 
was  the  j)lainest  and  best  i)roportioned  engine  he  had  seen  ;  it 
had  only  a  single  condensing  vessel ;  and  "  though  but  a  small 
one  in  comparison  with  many  otheix  of  the  kind  that  are  made 
for  coal  works,  it  is  sufficient  for  any  reasonable  family,  and 
other  uses  required  for  it  in  watering  middling  gardens."* 
Four  receivei-s  full  of  water,  or  ecpial  to  tifty-two  gallons,  were 
raised  every  minute,  or  3,110  gallons  in  the  hour;  whilst,  in 
the  case  of  the  larger  engines  with  double  receivei-s,  6,240  gal- 
lons an  hour  might  easily  Ik"  raised.  The  cost  of  the  smaller 
engine  was  about  tifty  pounds,  and  the  consumption  of  coal 
about  a  bjishel  in  the  twenty-four  houi-s,  supposing  it  was  kept 
constantly  at  work  during  that  tinu'.

APPENDIX    H. 


The  uses  to  which  Savery  proposed  to  apply  his  engine  wi  r- 
various.  One  was  to  pump  water  into  a  reservoir,  from  whi(  1,. 
by  falling  on  a  water  wheel,  it  might  produce  a  contiuunin 
rotary  motion  ;  anotVier  was  to  raise  water  irto  cisterns  for  tlir 
supply  of  gentlemen's  houses,  and  for  use  in  fount^iins,  and  as 
an  extinguish*,  in  civse  of  fii-e ;  a  third  was  to  raise  water  tor 
the  supply  of  towns ;  and  a  fourth  to  drain  fens  and  marsh  lands. 
But  the  most  important,  in  the  inventor's  estimation,  was  its 
employment  in  clearing  drowned  mines  and  coal-pits  of  water. 
He  showed  how  water  might  l)e  raised  from  deep  mines  hy 
using  several  engines,  placed  at  different  depths,  one  over  tin- 
other.  Thus  by  tiiree  lifts,  each  of  80  feet,  water  might  In- 
raised  from  a  mine  about  240  feet,  then  considered  a  very 
great  depth.  From  Saverj-'s  own  accounts,  it  is  evident  that 
several  of  his  engines  were  erected  in  Cornwall ;  and  it  is  said 
that  the  firat  was  tried  at  Huel  Vor,  or  "  The  Great  Work  in 
Breage,"  a  few  miles  from  Helstone,  then  considered  the  richest 
tin  mine  in  the  county.  The  engine  was  found  to  be  an  im- 
provement on  the  methods  fonnerly  employed  for  draining  ilw 
mine,  and  sent  the  miners  to  considerably  greater  depths.  But 
the  great  pressure  of  steam  required  to  force  up  a  high  column 
of  water  was  such  as  to  strain  to  the  utmostrthe  imperfect  Iwil- 
ers  and  receivei-s  of  those  early  days ;  and  the  frequent 
explosions  which  attended  its  use  eventually  led  to  its  discon- 
tinuance in  favor  of  the  superior  engine  of  Newcoraen,  whicii 
was  shortly  after  invented. 

Savery  also  endeavored  to  introduce  his  engine  in  the  coal- 
mining districts,  but  without  success,  and  for  the  same  reason. 
The  demand  for  coal  in  connection  with  the  iron  manufacture 
having  greatly  increased  in  the  count}'  of  Stafford,  and  the  coal 
which  lay  nearest  the  surfivce  having  been  for  the  most  part 
"  won,"  the  mining  interest  l)ecame  very  desirous  of  obtaining 
some  more  efficient  means  of  clearing  the  pits  of  water,  in  order 
to  send  the  minei-s  deeper  into  tlie  ground.  Windlass  and

and  all  sorts  of  contrivances  had  lieen  tried,  and  the  limit  of 
their  imwem  hi»d  l)een  reached.  Tlu'  pits  were  fast  l>econiing 
drowned  out,  and  the  iron  nuwtei-s  liegan  to  fear  lest  their  manu- 
facture .should  l)econu'  lost  through  want  of  fuel.  Under  these 
circumstances  they  were  ready  to  hail  the  invention  of  Capt. 
Savery,  which  promised  to  relieve  them  of  tlieir  ditticulty.  He 
was  .icconlingly  invited  to  erect  one  of  his  engines  over  a  coal 
mine  at  the  Hroadwatei-s,  near  Wednesbury.  The  influx  of 
water,  however,  proved  too  nnu-li  for  the  engine  ;  the  springs 
were  so  many  and  so  strong,  that  all  the  means  which  Savery 
could  employ  failed  to  clear  the  mine  of  water.  To  increase 
the  forcing  power  he  increased  the  pressure  of  steam  ;  but 
neither  boiler  nor  receiver  could  endure  it,  and  the  steam  "  tore 
the  engine  to  pieces ;  so  that,  after  much  time,  labor,  and  ex- 
pense, Mr.  Savery  gave  up  the  undertaking,  and  the  engine  was 
laid  aside  as  useless."  * 

He  was  no  more  successful  with  the  engine  which  he  erected 
at  York  buildings  t<i  pumji  water  from  the  'J'hames  for  the  supply 
of  the  western  parts  of  London.  Bradley^  says  that  to  incresise  its 
power  he  doubled  every  part,  but  "it  was  liable  to  so  many  dis- 
orders, if  a  single  mistake  happened  in  the  working  of  it,  that  at 
length  it  wiis  looked  upon  as  a  useless  piece  of  work,  and  re- 
jected."f  Ssvvery's  later  engines  thus  lost  him  much  of  the  credit 
which  he  had  gained  by  those  of  an  earlier  and  simpler  construction. 
It  Ijecame  clear  that  their  application  wa.s  very  limited,  'i'liey 
involved  much  waste  of  fuel,  through  the  condensation  of  the 
hot  steam  pressing  upon  the  surface  of  the  cold  water,  previous 
to  the  expulsion  of  the  latter  from  the  vessel ;  and  eventually 
tlieir  use  was  confined  to  the  pumping  of  water  for  fountains 
and  the  supply  of  gentlemen's  houses,  and  in  some  cases  to  the 
raising  of  water  for  the  purpose  of  working  an  ovei'shot  water 
wheel.  Various  attempts  were  made  to  improve  the  engine  by 
liradley,  by  Papin,  by  Desaguliei-s,  and  otheis ;  but  no  great

Not  much  is  known  of  the  hiter  j'eai-s  of  Savery's  life.  \\  .• 
find  him  a  captain  of  military  engineei-s  in  1702;*  and  in 
ITOri,  with  the  view  of  advancing  knowledge  in  his  spccinl 
branch  of  military  science,  he  gave  to  the  world  a  translatinn. 
in  folio,  of  Cohorn's  celebrated  work  on  fortification.  '11  ic 
book  was  dedicated  to  Prince  George,  of  Denmark,  to  whom  lu' 
was  indebted,  in  the  same  year,  for  his  appointment  to  tin- 
otlice  of  treasurer  of  the  Hospital  for  Sick  and  Wounded  Seamen. 
Various  lettei-s  and  documents  are  still  to  be  found  in  tin- 
Transport  Office,  Somei-set  House,  addressed  to  him  in  that 
capacity.!  In  1714  he  was  further  indebted  to  Prince  Geo 'gc 
for  the  appcintment  of  surveyor  to  the  waterworks  at  Hampton 
Coiirt ;  but  he  did  not  live  to  enjoy  it,  as  he  died  in  the  coui'se 
of  the  following  year.  He  is  said  to  have  accumulated  consid- 
erable property,  which  he  bequeathed  to  his  wife,  together  with 
•all  interest  in  his  inventions.  His  will  was  executed  on  the 
day  of  his  death,  the  loth  of  ^lay,  1715,  and  was  proved  four 
da^iH  after  in  the  Prerogative  Court  of  Canterbury.  He  there 
described  himself  as  "  of  the  parish  of  Saint  Margaret,  at  West- 
minster, Esquire."  His  widow  hei"self  died  before  all  his  effects 
were  administered.  There  was  a  considerable  amount  of  un- 
claimed stock  which  the  Savery  family  were  prevented  from 
claiming,  as  it  had  passed  to  the  >vidow  ;  and  it  has  since  been 
transferred  to  the  credit  of  the  national  debt.

had  a  good  standing  in  that  county  long  before  the  time  of 
John  Savery,  of  Halberton;  for  as  early  as  A.  I).  1400,  John

ton was  mayor  of  Totnes,  and  the  family  possessed  Totnes 
Castle  until  1691.  Notwithstanding  the  statement  of  Risdon 
in  his  "Survey  of  Devon,"  that  this  family  "came  originally 
out  of  Brittany."  it  is  possible  that  they  are  descended  frcmi  a 
Savery  of  Wiltshire,  through  a  Inaiich  extending  first  into  Son*- 
ersetshire,  winch  lies  between  Wilts  and  Devon,  and  which

In  the  notes  to  Cation  Ainger's  edition  of  "  Lamb's  Letters," 
Canon  Ainger  says : 

"  Miss  Kmina  Savory,  of  Blacklioath,  a  niece  of  Hester  Savory,  has 
supplied  me  with  a  few  >)tographli-al  (iftails; ;  'She.  (Hester)  was  tiie  eldest 
sister  of  my  father,  A.  B.  Savory,  and  lived  with  him  and  his  sisters,  Anna 
and  Martha,  .it  I'entonville.  She  married  Charles  Stoke  Dudley,  and  died 
eight  months  after  her  marriage,  of  fever.  I  possess  a  miniature  portrait 
of  her  which  I  greatly  value.  My  mother  used  to  say  that  her  beaut}'  con- 
sisted more  in  expression  than  in  regularity  of  features." 

Canon  Ainger  adds  that  he  had  seen  tlie  i)ortrait,  and  after 
the  lyric  it  was  anything  but  disappointing,  showing  a  bright- 
eyed  gypsy  face,  such  as  we  know  so  well  frcjni  the  cativius  of 
Reynolds. 

A.  B.  (full  natne  Adey  Bellamy)  Savory  was  long  the  head 
of  the  great  firtn  of  goldsmiths  at  Cornhill.  It  is  said  that  Lamb 
had  a  fellow-clerk  with  him  in  the  India  oihce  named  Savory. 

Pages  11  and  57.  The  Walloons,  like  the  Welsh,  are  relics 
of  the  original  Celtic  race.  But  the  war  waged  by  the  Saxon 
itivaders  in  South  Britaiti  was  tnore  one  of  extermitiatioii  than 
that  which  resulted  from  the  Teittonic  invasions  of  Gaul. 
Hence  the  Celtic  blood  prevails  much  more  in  France  than  in 
England. 

Pages  16,  17,  and  19.  A  difficttlty  in  identifying  this 
Thoniiia  and  Anthony  with  these  two  (supposed)  grandsons  of 
Robert  atid  Joan  Savery  reqitires  notice,  The  first  recorded 
birth  of  a  child  to  Thotuas  of  Plymouth  was  in  Match,  1644-5, 
when  the  two  Thomases,  born  at  Ilaiinington,  would  be  forty- 
two  and  forty  years  old  respectively.  Early  marriages  were 
the  rule  it)  those  days.  I  have  Iwen  utiable  to  get  anything 
from  most  of  the  Wiltshire  and  tieighboring  records.  Thomas 
and  Atithony,  mentiotied  in  Robert's  will  in  1598,  were  probably 
younger  brothers,  there  being  one  older  tiian  they,  Richard: 
and  it  may  l)e  that  a  Thotuas  and  an  Anthony  descetided  from 
one  of  these  brothers,  and,  inheriting  their  tiatnes,  catue  to  Plytn- 
oiith,  while  the  Anthony  who  was  l)aptized  .Ian.  20,  1605-6,  was 
llif  same  who  died  in  Barbadoes,  .Fan.  24, 1682-3.    Hut  Thoinas

Piige  o8.  While  the  work  was  going  through  the  press  I 
was  deeply  grieved  to  hear  of  the  death  of  l{ichard  Guriiey 
Savery,  the  younger,  which  occurred  early  in  Decembei',  18!i2. 
A  contemporary  paper  says  of  him: 

'•  Me  was  born  in  'I'abergand  (Mlucattul  at  Whitestowii  Seminary.  In  1S83 
lie  entered  the  ofliee  of  W.  E.  Scripture,  of  Home,  and  began  the  study  of 
law.  In  1885  he  went  with  (ieoi'ge  I{.  Cornish,  now  of  Home,  to  Heatriee, 
Xeb.,  and  opened  a  law  ofliee.  Mr.  Savery  was  admitted  to  the  bar  while 
there.  Aftir  nimaining  there  al)oat  two  year.*,  ht!  returned  to  Oneida 
(Jounty  and  opened  an  otllee  in  Taberg.  Some  two  years  ago  he  was  ap- 
pointed a  Tnited  States  gov<'rnnient  land  agent.  His  lieadquarters  have 
been  at  Portland,  Ore.,  but  he  has  travelled  extensively  through  ('ali- 
fornla,  New  Mexico,  I'tah,  and  other  parts  of  the  West  and  Southwest.

have  embraced  the  doctrines  of  the  Friends  after  he  became  an 
attorney,  for  the  practice  of  the  law  was  not  a  favorite  pursuit 
with  tlie  early  Friends,  although  in  recent  times  the  secular 
avocation  and  religions  profession  have  l)een  jointly  honored  in
